As far as I can tell from what's reported in the new, a great deal of North Korea's daily operation fits that category.
How about Iran stating that they're messing with UF6, when Israel[1] is a known pre-emptive bomber of Facilities to the East? That's pretty much tickling the dragon. [1] A wholly 0wn3d subsidiary of the US. Or perhaps vice-versa.

Maybe they are playing a different game. They couldn't use the eventually produced nukes anyway, without being showered back with the same kind - but an entire Middle East crammed full of decently pissed Arabs may be well-worth of one lousy sacrificed reactor. A PR campaign with virtually guaranteed results is cheap for that price.

Don't be so harsh on them. "Mutual ownership of controlling stocks" is likely to be more accurate description.

They are fanatics. They expect to get a six pack of virgins. And they will say "Hey, it was not us, it was these terrorists who happen to have somehow stolen some nukes from persons unknown. We are completely opposed to terrorism, and are fully cooperating with foreign investigations." --digsig James A.
