US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on 18 October started a tour of Asia with a sweeping plan for inspections of North Korean cargo and a warning to Pyongyang not to carry out a second nuclear test. The plan, designed to ensure the erratic regime does not sell its nuclear arsenal to terrorists or rogue states, would involve inspection or monitoring of cargo leaving or entering North Korea by sea, land and air, US officials said.
