The North Koreans clearly did not honour their words of putting
off Weapons of Mass Destruction!
Satellite shows second North Korea missile site
Analyst: It suggests intent to develop nuclear threat against
U.S.
This satellite image taken on June 22 shows part of what
analysts says is a new long-range missile base in North
Korea.
WASHINGTON - North Korea has quietly built a long-range missile
base that is larger and more capable than an older and well-known
launch pad for intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to
independent analysts relying on new satellite images of the site
and other data. Analysts provided images of the previously secret
site to The Associated Press.
Construction on the site on North Korea's west coast began at
least eight years ago, according to Joseph S. Bermudez, Jr., senior
analyst with Jane's Information Group, and Tim Brown with
Talent-keyhole.com, a private satellite imagery analysis company.
Bermudez first located the site in early spring and they have
tracked its construction using commercial and unclassified
satellite imagery.
"The primary purpose of the facility is to test," Bermudez told
The Associated Press in an interview last week. A base capable of a
long-range test could obviously be used in wartime to launch a
missile that carried a warhead.(AP news)
