North Korea Draws Warnings for Rocket Launch 
---------------------------------------------



North Korea is preparing a new rocket launch that is widely suspected to
be a ballistic missile test in disguise. The North Korean government
says it is currently injecting fuel ahead of a launch as early as
Thursday. In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned of an
international response if North Korea proceeds.

Hillary Clinton: "We are consulting closely in capitals and at the
United Nations in New York, and we will be pursuing appropriate action,
but I would just underscore that if North Korea wants a peaceful, better
future for their people, it should not conduct another launch that would
be a direct threat to regional security."
