ANN Special Feature: The North Korean Missile Crisis 06.21.06
New developments Tuesday in the ongoing nuclear confrontation between the US and North Korea. First... the North Koreans apparently completed fueling their newest long-range missile... a true ICBM capable of hitting targets in Alaska... western Canada... and perhaps even along the West Coast of the US mainland. The Taipedong-2 stands ready on its launchpad in the northeastern part of North Korea... and could be launched as early as today. Despite calls from nations around the world -- including the United States and Japan -- to stand down from its long-range missile test and honor a 1998 treaty banning such flights... North Korea Tuesday said it has a sovereign right to launch the vehicle... and would do so in the face of what it called American provocation. As a result... American military sources let it be known that the US has transferred its ground-based missile defense systems from test to operational status. We begin our in-depth coverage now with ANN Senior Correspondent Kevin O'Brien.
