JohnLocke Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 North Korea fires long-range rocket in defiant move, South Korea says Published December 11, 2012 Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea says North Korea has fired a long-range rocket in a defiant move just days ahead of South Korea's presidential election. It was the second rocket launch under leader Kim Jong Un. Kim took power following his father Kim Jong Il's death one year ago.

North Korea says its putting a monitoring satellite into orbit. Read more: http://www.foxnews.c.../#ixzz2EnTlqvch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerox Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Lucky the launch is successful this time. If it lands on some other poor countries, it will be WW3 already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
