NKorea warns military cleared to wage nuke attack

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) - Ratcheting up the rhetoric, North Korea warned today that its military has been cleared to wage an attack on the U.S. using “smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear” weapons. The Pentagon, meanwhile, said Wednesday that it will deploy a missile defense system to the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam to strengthen the region’s protections against a possible attack.
