With the news yesterday that North Korea likely sold nuclear technology to Libya the United States is calling for Pyongyang to resume the six-party nuclear talks which include China, Japan, North and South Korea, Russia and the United States.

Scott McClellan, a White House spokesman, indicated yesterday that 'We would urge North Korea to return to the six-party talks soon.'

Thus far, there has been no official response from the North Korean government although their previous position was to hold off on the resumption of talks until the United States changes what Pyongyang has described as its 'hostile' policies.

Meanwhile, the United States has also indicated that Pakistan, a key American ally in the war against terror, may have also supplied Libya with uranium.

The International Atomic Energy Agency says that they cannot give a definitive answer as to where Libya's supply came from. 'In order to come to this conclusion, you need a sample from North Korea and no one has a uranium sample from North Korea,' said one official investigating the situation for the IAEA. 'The Pakistanis won't allow any samples of their UF6, either.'

Libya announced last year that it was abandoning its nuclear programs in an attempt to get back into the good graces of the United States. The United States long considered Libya a rogue nation that supported international terrorism including the downing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbee, Scotland.

As the search for the trail of nuclear material continues, one thing is clear: the Bush Administration will have a hard time containing nuclear technology in the future.
