North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to defend his country against hostility from the U.S. after the totalitarian state said last week it will test a nuclear weapon. North Korea has probably made enough progress to test a weapon in "a few weeks or less" once the leadership gives the order, according to a statement posted on the 38north.org website of the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, where recent satellite photos were analyzed. North Korea on Jan. 24 threatened to test a nuclear weapons to derail "hostile" U.S. policies, after the Obama administration pushed through United Nations sanctions against the country for launching a rocket last month. North Korea has enough plutonium to produce four to eight basic nuclear weapons, according to estimates by Stanford University nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker, who visited North Korea's uranium-enrichment and other atomic facilities in 2010.
