Pyongyang to allow nuclear checks

The International Atomic Energy Agency said that North Korea is allowing inspectors to visit its main nuclear facility. The move comes after Pyongyang said that it would resume dismantling nuclear facilities in response to a US decision to remove it from its list of states sponsoring terrorism. It stopped disabling its nuclear programme in mid-August over what it called US delays in removing it from the list. The country then began reassembling its plutonium-producing facility and barred international inspectors. (AP)
