PYONGYANG, North Korea, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- North Korea has denied buying nuclear secrets from a Pakistani scientist and accused the United States of fabricating the claim, The Guardian reports.
The father of Pakistan's nuclear arms program, Abdul Qadeer Khan, said last week he illegally sold secrets to North Korea, Libya and Iran.
The admission came three weeks before North Korea was scheduled to join the United States, China, Japan, Russia and South Korea for a second round of talks to try to end the North's nuclear weapons program.
But in Tuesday's first official statement on the issue, a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said the United States had invented Khan's story to derail the impending talks and to lay the groundwork for an Iraq-style invasion.
"This is nothing but mean and groundless propaganda," the spokesman told Pyongyang's official KCNA news agency.
