North Korea could resume missile tests: CIA chief

WASHINGTON, Feb 16 (AFP) - Nuclear-armed North Korea could resume missile tests anytime and has active biological and chemical weapons programs, CIA Director Porter Goss told Congress Wednesday.
"North Korea could resume flight testing at any time ... including longer range missiles capable of reaching the United States," he testified at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing.
"We believe North Korea has active CW (chemical weapons) and BW (biological weapons) programs ... ready for use," said Goss, who took over as CIA director in September.
