German Paper: North Korea Tested Nuclear Warhead For Iran -- Omri Ceren, Commentary

Blogger John Galt picks up this story from the Austrian newspaper Wiener Zietung:

North Korea detonated two secret tests of atomic warheads with highly enriched uranium in 2010, according to a German press report. The newspaper Welt am Sonntag reported with reference to western security circles, as some secret services assumed that the government in P’yongyang at least one of these tests had carried out for the Iranians. This would mean that Teheran, with North Korean aid, has constructed and already tested an atomic warhead. According to the newspaper Welt am Sonntag, this assumption is based on data of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO).

My Comment: I am skeptical of this report for the simple reason that if there are two countries that are being watched 24/7 for any sign of a nuclear test .... it is these two countries. To hide such a test .... I find that hard to believe.
