U.S. says N. Korea admits secret nuclear program


North Korea, confronted with U.S. "evidence," has acknowledged to the United States that it has operated a secret nuclear program for several years in violation of a 1994 agreement, senior U.S. officials have said. One of the officials told Reuters Wednesday that the Bush administration believed North Korea's activities "have effectively nullified the 1994 Agreed Framework," an agreement under which Pyongyang promised to freeze its nuclear program.
