N Korea to restart nuclear plant

The secretive communist state agreed to give up its atomic ambitions in return for aid and an end to its international isolation. But Pyongyang says the U.S. has violated the deal after its failure to remove North Korea from a terrorism blacklist. But Washington insists it will only remove North Korea from the list once the state allows inspectors to verify claims it made about its nuclear arms production, but the two sides are at odds over the verification process.
