NKorea denies nuclear disclosures
North Korea has denied an admission by Pakistan's top nuclear scientist that he sold nuclear weapons technology to the Communist state.
A statement by a foreign ministry spokesman described the claim as "false propaganda" spread by the US, the state-run KCNA news agency reported.
The spokesman said "US smear campaign" justified Pyongyang's moves "to build nuclear deterrent force".
It was North Korea's first official response to the Pakistan disclosures.
