Israel accuses NKorea of Mideast proliferation.

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Israel accused North Korea on Saturday of covertly supplying at least half a dozen Mideast countries with nuclear technology or conventional arms.
The allegation was made at an International Atomic Energy Agency meeting in Vienna where world powers urged the North to stop reactivating its nuclear weapons program.
"The Middle East remans on the receiving end of the DPRK's reckless activities," Israeli delegate David Danieli told the meeting, referring to North Korea by its acronym.
"At least half a dozen countries in the region ... have become eager recipients" of the North's black market supplies of conventional arms or nuclear technology, he said - mostly "through black market and covert network channels."
While he did not name any of the suspected countries, he appeared to be referring in part to Iran and Syria, which are both under IAEA investigation, and Libya, which scrapped its rudimentary weapons program after revealing it in 2003.More.
