N Korea links tests to 'pressure'

BEIJING (WNS) - North Korea will not carry out a second nuclear test unless "harassed" by the US, according to media reports in South Korea and Japan. Sources familiar with a briefing given by a Chinese envoy after talks with the North's leader said Kim Jong-il wanted a nuclear-free Korean peninsula. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice earlier expressed doubts that Mr Kim had made any pledges on future tests. She is heading home after an Asian tour to bolster UN sanctions on the North.
