Saying that it has "powerful offensive and defensive" means at its disposal Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, warned the U.S. against any military action saying North Korea "is neither Afghanistan nor Yugoslavia nor Iraq."

Led by dictator Kim Jong Il, and hailing a million-man army, the North is believed by the United States to have at least one nuclear weapon, an extensive chemical weapons stockpile and a biological arsenal.
