North Korea learning skills necessary to build biological weapons: New York Times

A New York Times reports claims North Korea may be developing biological weapons,... calling it one of the regime's "less known military threats."
According to analysis published by the Middlebury Institute of International Studies,... the North is collaborating with foreign researchers to learn biotechnology skills and build relevant machinery.
As a result, they say,... the North's capabilities are increasing rapidly.
Other analysts says satellite images show the North is interested in biotechnology and germ advances.
