SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea said Thursday it has completed reprocessing its 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods and is using plutonium extracted from them to make atomic bombs.

''The (North) successfully finished the reprocessing of some 8,000 spent fuel rods,'' a spokesman for North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the North's official news agency, KCNA. The spokesman was not named.

Accusing the United States of taking a ''hostile policy'' toward the North, the statement said that North Korea ''made a switchover in the use of plutonium churned out by reprocessing spent fuel rods in the direction increasing its nuclear deterrent force.''

I suppose we could ask our allies, if we have any left.
