Gates: North Korea Prepared to Launch Missile Capable of Hitting Alaska – Political News – FOXNews.com

North Korea is set to test-launch its most advanced missile, one capable of delivering a nuclear payload to Alaska — a threat not felt by the U.S. since the end of the Cold War.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who is in the Philippines Monday discussing the region’s military and security issues, said Pyongyang appears to be preparing to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile — or ICBM — a projectile with a range of more than 4,000 miles.

But Gates stopped short of saying the reclusive communist regime had plans to target Alaska — or any region within the United States.

“North Korea has made a choice,” she said. “It has chosen to violate the specific language of the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1718. It has ignored the international community. It has abrogated the obligations it entered into through the six-party talks. And it continues to act in a provocative and belligerent manner toward its neighbors. There are consequences to such actions.”
