Pyongyang has threatened to rescind its promise to freeze its nuclear research in response to media reports that the US has included North Korea on a list of seven nations that could be targetted for nuclear attack. Meanwhile the Central Intelligence Agency has warned that North Korea could be ready to test a missile that could reach the US mainland. But evidence used to back the claim is open to question.
