Surgical strikes coming.

The chief inspector in North Korea for the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, announced Wednesday that the country has removed the inspection seals and all surveillance equipment from the nuclear reprocessing facility at Yongbyon.

U.N. inspectors have been ordered to leave, and U.S. officials and IAEA representatives confirm that reprocessing at the facility could begin in just a week.

In a statement from its Director General, the IAEA said: “There are no more IAEA seals and surveillance equipment in place at the reprocessing facility. The Democratice People’s Republic of Korea has also informed the IAEA inspectors that they plan to introduce nuclear material to the reprocessing plant in one week´s time.They further stated that from here on the IAEA inspectors will have no further access to the reprocessing plant.”

Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said the moves would: “only deepen its isolation.”

She then insisted the Six-Party talks with the North Koreans to disarm are not dead.

“Everyone knows what the path ahead is. The path ahead is for there to be agreement on a verification protocol so that we can continue along the path of the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. And the North Koreans know that, and so we’ll continue working with our partners on what steps we might need to take.”
