South Korea Ships Oil To North Korea

South Korea sent a shipload of oil to North Korea, a move expected to trigger the communist nation to shut down its only working nuclear reactor in a landmark first step toward dismantling its atomic bomb program. The chief U.N. inspector, Mohamed ElBaradei, said he expects the agency's monitoring of the shutdown of the North's Yongbyon reactor will start early next week and the initial inspection is expected to be completed within maybe a month or so.
