Otto Frederick Warmbier, 21, arrives at the People's Cultural House in Pyongyang, North Korea, where he asked forgiveness in front of the media Monday. (wvik.org)

The 2006 North Korean nuclear test was the detonation of a nuclear device conducted by North Korea on October 9, 2006. (wikipedia.org)
On October 3, 2006, North Korea announced its intention to conduct a nuclear test. (wikipedia.org)
Because of the secretive nature of North Korea and small yield of the test, there remains some question as to whether it was a successful test of an unusually small device (which would have required sophisticated technology), or a partially failed "fizzle" or dud. (wikipedia.org)
North Korea had been suspected of maintaining a clandestine nuclear weapons development program since the early 1980s when it constructed a plutonium-producing Magnox nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, and various diplomatic means had been used by the international community to attempt to limit North Korea's nuclear work to peaceful and scientific means and encouraging North Korea to participate in international treaties. (wikipedia.org)
In 1994, the United States and North Korea signed the "Agreed Framework", whereby North Korea agreed to freeze its graphite moderated reactor program in exchange for fuel, moves toward normalization of political and economic relations, and the construction of two modern nuclear power plants powered by light-water reactors. (wikipedia.org)
However, in 2002, rumors circulated that North Korea was pursuing both uranium enrichment technology and plutonium reprocessing technologies in defiance of the Agreed Framework. (wikipedia.org)
North Korea reportedly told American diplomats in private that they were in possession of nuclear weapons, citing American failures to uphold their own end of the "Agreed Framework" as a motivating force. (wikipedia.org)
North Korea later clarified that it did not possess weapons yet, but that it had a right to possess them. (wikipedia.org)
In late 2002 and early 2003, North Korea began to take steps to eject International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors while re-routing spent fuel rods for plutonium reprocessing for weapons purposes. (wikipedia.org)
As late as the end of 2003, North Korea claimed that it would freeze its nuclear program in exchange for American concessions - in particular a non-aggression treaty - but a final agreement was not reached and talks continued to be cancelled or fall through. (wikipedia.org)
Hecker later testified before the United States Congress that while North Korea seems to have successfully extracted plutonium from the spent fuel rods, he saw no evidence at the time that they had actually produced a workable weapon. (wikipedia.org)
Through 2005 more diplomatic talks were attempted between the United States, North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia (the six-party talks) but little concrete change occurred. (wikipedia.org)
Because North Korea had not conducted a successful test of a nuclear device, the extent of its nuclear weapons program remained ambiguous through 2005 and much of 2006. (wikipedia.org)
Though North Korea conducted numerous missile tests (some of which were branded failures by international experts[who? (wikipedia.org)
