A government source disclosed on Sept. 12 that two seismic activities were detected on the night of Sept. 8 and the early morning of Sept. 9, from the explosion at Kim Hyong-jik County, Yanggang Province, N. Korea. One explosen was about three times larger (appr. 3kms!! blast radius) than the Ryongchon explosion from April this year (1km radius).
According to the source, both S. Korean and Chinese earthquake monitoring stations picked up from Yanggang Province area of N. Korea, " seismic activities presumably related to two explosions, one at 11:00 pm on 09/08, and the other at 1:00 am on 09/09." Two successive explosions only 2 hours apart. That does not look like a nuklear test. According to the PR activities this points more towards a deliberate 'sabotage' to stirr up some public awareness towards some 'atomic blahblah'...
Earlier, another key government figure stated: "The incident occurred on the night of 09/08. Our government [South Korean] noticed a sign of trouble on the early morning of 09/09. That is pretty close to what happened. Before the mushroom cloud was observed on the morning of 09/09, we detected another sign of trouble."
From the NY-TIMES of 09/12/2004:
"...a series of actions by North Korea that some experts believe could indicate the country is preparing to conduct its first test explosion of a nuclear weapon.
Some analysts in agencies that were the most cautious about the Iraq findings have cautioned that they do not believe the activity detected in North Korea in the past three weeks is necessarily the harbinger of a test.
One official with access to the intelligence called it "a series of indicators of increased activity that we believe would be associated with a test,..." saying that the "likelihood" of a North Korean test had risen significantly in just the past four weeks. The activities included the movement of materials around several suspected test sites, including one near a location where intelligence agencies reported last year that conventional explosives were being tested that could compress a plutonium core and set off a nuclear explosion. But officials have not seen the classic indicators of preparations at a test site, in which cables are laid to measure an explosion in a deep test pit..."
LOL, spinning and spinning....

Interesting timing!? Why published now??
Interesting as well that on September 9 is the 56th anniversary of North Korea's founding.
As this recent blasts occured along a railroad again I do wonder if some 'foreign force' is blocking transportations of 'critical material' again as in Ryongchon on April 22nd??!!! All Syrian scientists in NKorea not dead raise your hands...
