North Korea To Shoot A Missile At The U.S. On 4th Of July

If this report is accurate, then the N. Koreans have a death wish…

North Korea may launch a long-range ballistic missile towards Hawaii on American Independence Day, according to Japanese intelligence officials.

The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles, would be launched in early July from the Dongchang-ni site on the north-western coast of the secretive country.

Intelligence analysts do not believe the device would be capable of hitting Hawaii’s main islands, which are 4,500 miles from North Korea.

Details of the launch came from the Japan’s best-selling newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun.

Both Japanese intelligence and U.S. reconnaissance satellites have collated information pointing to the launch, according to the report. – Daily Mail UK

Oh well, could be some interesting fireworks to celebrate the 4th with. Talk about your ‘rockets red glare’.
