North Korea Preparing For Missile Launch

Ground activity suggests that North Korea is prepared to attempt a missile launch within the next couple weeks.

Satellites from private companies and governments have shown a buildup of fuel tanks, tents, people, and vehicles over the last few days.

The level activity at the Sohae launch facility is almost exactly the same as seen before previous launches from the site.

It is considered most likely that the launch will be of a Taepodong 2, long range, missile.

December 17 will mark the first anniversary of Kim Jong Il's death, and therefore could make an ideal launch date, for the country.
