North Korea ordered the inspectors out of the buildings and requested that all containment and surveillance equipment be removed as the nation no longer wished to cooperate with the organization. The country announced one day previously that it would restart its plutonium factory. CNN: N. Korea Orders Out Nuclear Inspectors
