N Korea Allows Monitors Back At Nuke Facilities

CBS News Interactive: Nuclear Armed World

VIENNA, Austria (AP) ― Diplomats say North Korea is again allowing U.N monitors to inspect its main nuclear facility.

The move comes a day after the North said it would resume dismantling its nuclear facilities in response to the U.S. decision to remove North Korea from its list of states sponsoring terrorism.

North Korea stopped disabling its atomic program in mid-August, angry over what it called U.S. delays in removing it from the terror list. The country subsequently took steps toward reassembling its plutonium-producing facility and barred international inspectors from the site.

The two diplomats revealing the latest developments spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
