It is easy to see why. Under the previous UNDP arrangement, the government was able to circumvent the U.N.'s anti-proliferation sanctions and secure "dual-use" technology (including computers, software, satellite-receiving equipment, and spectrometers) that could be used for its nuclear and military programs. Pyongyang was able to launder funds using UNDP accounts, and UNDP staff concealed evidence of North Korean efforts to circulate counterfeit $100 bills.

With the only real check on future misuse of UNDP programs and funds a historically cavalier UNDP executive board–now unhelpfully chaired by Iran–Pyongyang likely and reasonably expects to make good use of UNDP in the future.

Saudi Arabia has stripped citizenship from Hamza bin Laden, the son of slain al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, the interior ministry said in a statement published by the official gazette.

The U.S. State Department said on Thursday it was offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading "to the identification or location in any country" of Hamza, calling him a key al-Qaida leader.
