N. Korean radars turned on ahead of rocket launch: source


By Sam Kim
SEOUL, April 5 (Yonhap) -- North Korea activated its radars Sunday as it
apparently prepared to launch the vehicle that it says will carry a satellite, a
South Korean source said.
"Once the radars are turned on, we can expect a launch very soon," the source
told Yonhap News Agency, declining to specify when.
South Korea, the U.S. and Japan believe the rocket may be a disguised ballistic
missile theoretically capable of hitting Alaska.
