NORTH KOREAN ROCKET LAUNCH FAILSby joelcrosenberg |
"Defying
international concerns, North Korea fired a long-range rocket early
today, but it appears to have fallen into the sea, splintering moments
after takeoff," reports the Daily Telegraph out of London.
"The liftoff took place at 7:39 am from the west coast launch pad in the
hamlet of Tongchang-ri, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul
said, citing South Korean and U.S. intelligence. The two countries as
well as many others had warned against the launch, calling it a
provocation and a cover to test missile technology. North Korea had
insisted it would not back down, and said the rocket would only carry a
satellite, touting it as a major technological achievement to mark the
100th birth anniversary of the country's founder, Kim Il Sung, on
Sunday. Still, if the US report of a failure, backed by Japan and South
Korea, is true, it would be a major embarrassment for Pyongyang, which
has invited dozens of international journalists to observe the rocket
launch and other celebrations...."
