N. Korea believed to be preparing for ICBM launch
Yonhap ^ | 5-30-2009

SEOUL, May 30 (Yonhap) — North Korea appears to be preparing for a long-range missile test, an informed source said Saturday, defying the U.N. Security Council whose members are negotiating a resolution to punish it for its recent nuclear test.
The source, asking not to be identified, said an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was recently spotted on a cargo train near Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
The missile has since been moved to an undisclosed location, according to the source.
“It usually takes about two months to set up a launch pad, but the process could be done in as little as two weeks, which means the North could launch a long-range missile as early as in mid-June,” the source said.

“US Delegation Seeks Asian Consensus on North Korea”
By VOA News
31 May 2009
SNIPPET: “A U.S. government delegation is winding its way through Asia this week to discuss how to respond to North Korea’s latest nuclear test.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg is leading the group, which arrives in Japan Sunday.
The delegation includes Stuart Levy, the Treasury Department’s undersecretary on terrorism and financial intelligence. Stephen Bosworth, the U.S. special representative for North Korean policy, also is expected to be part of the mission.
From Japan, the delegation travels to South Korea, China and Russia. The countries are part of stalled negotiations aimed at ending North Korea’s nuclear program.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Saturday that the United States would not accept a nuclear-armed North Korea.
He said Washington would hold Pyongyang “fully accountable” if any nuclear material or technology is transferred outside its borders.
Speaking in Singapore, Gates said painful sanctions may be the only way to peacefully end North Korea’s nuclear program.
North Korea has threatened to take retaliatory action if the United Nations Security Council slaps it with new sanctions.”
