North Korea threatens full scale war if rocket is intercepted.

 

North Korea says it will wage war on America, Japan and South Korea if any attempt is made to intercept the launch of a rocket it claims is intended to put a satellite into space.

 

It has also cut off its border and telephone links with the South in protest at military exercises by American and South Korean troops which began on Monday.

 

Plans for a launch were first picked up by satellite imagery, with foreign intelligence agencies saying it was a test of a long-range Taepodong-2 missile with the capacity to hit parts of the United States.

 

The United States said it would shoot down the missile if it headed towards its territory. Japan has suggested it might try to intercept any launch, even if the payload is a communications satellite as claimed by Pyongyang.

 

"If the enemies recklessly opt for intercepting our satellite, our revolutionary armed forces will launch without hesitation a just retaliatory strike operation," the general staff of the North Korean army said in a statement on state media. It singled out the United States, Japan and South Korea as targets.

 

"Shooting our satellite for peaceful purposes will precisely mean a war," it said.

 

The North has put its army on full alert in the face of the annual spring military joint exercises begun today by the South Koreans and Americans.

Why not, and I assume that everyone is, just track the rocket? If it goes anywhere off course then we know more.

Tell you what if they throw any big dongs over at us, who would not try to stop those unwanted dongs penetrating our space? Not me that's for sure!
