The rocket appears to have a bulb-shaped tip that gives credence to Pyongyang's claim it will carry a satellite, U.S. defense officials said on Tuesday. The United States, Japan and South Korea say they see no difference between a satellite and a missile launch because they use the same long-range rocket, the Taepodong-2, which is designed to carry a warhead as far as Alaska. Any attempt to punish North Korea after the planned April 4-8 launch will infuriate Pyongyang, which has threatened to restart its plant that makes arms grade plutonium and also quit nuclear disarmament talks if the United Nations takes action. "Whether it is a satellite or a missile, it is still a violation of U.N. sanctions," a South Korea Foreign Ministry official said. Takeshi Akamatsu, assistant press secretary at Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, added: "We consider this would be a breach of the resolution and thus of international law." In London, a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity on the sidelines of a G20 meeting, said Washington would respond to any North Korean missile launch by raising the matter in the U.N. Security Council. "The president made clear we are deeply concerned about the prospective missile launch by the North Koreans ... There will be a reaction to it," the official said Earlier, U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a commercial satellite image of the Musudan-ri missile test site showed a Taepodong-2 with a bulb-shaped payload cover, consistent with a satellite payload, rather than a warhead. North Korea was hit with U.N. sanctions barring it from ballistic missile tests and halting its trade in weapons of mass destruction after it tried unsuccessfully to test the Taepodong-2 in July 2006 and conducted a nuclear test a few months later. Several missile-interceptor ships with sophisticated radar from Japan, the United States and South Korea are expected to be in waters along the rocket's flight path but there are no plans to intercept it unless it threatens their territories. DO NOT MEDDLE North Korea, which said any attempt to shoot down the rocket would be an act of war, issued a new threat on Wednesday. "(Our army) will relentlessly shoot down U.S. reconnaissance aircraft if they intrude into our territory and meddle with our peaceful satellite launch preparation," it said in a state radio broadcast monitored in Seoul. U.S. spy planes regularly fly in the South's airspace near the border to keep an eye on the North's troop movements. Continued... View article on single page Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
