N Korea 'sent uranium to Libya'

From The BBC

The UN atomic agency is investigating reports that North Korea secretly sent uranium to Libya when Tripoli was trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Diplomats quoted by The New York Times said the agency had found evidence that Pyongyang provided Libya with nearly two tons of uranium in early 2001.

Libya handed over the uranium to the US in January this year, after deciding to abandon its quest for nuclear weapons.

Pakistan's former nuclear chief AQ Khan ran a huge secret nuclear black market.
