North Korean Missile Test Fails To Hit Land,
Interceptor Missiles
Dateline Pyongyang - July 4, 2006
In what one Senior State Department official called,
"...a provocative attack designed to get attention,"
North Korea today test fired two short range missiles,
and one long range Taepodong-2.
The Taepodong-2, a missile which has been touted as
being able to "hit the Western Coast of the United
States", has been the subject of heated debate between
the two nations since the announced test weeks ago.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a Senior Navy
spokesman who allegedly witnessed the launch aboard
one of the Navy's Aegis-class battleships, deployed
as part of the ICBM interceptor fleet in response to
the planned test, said that the missile broke apart
in a large fireball.
"I was on the deck watching the horizon, and saw a
vertical flash," he said, "then a few seconds later
a boom and lots of colorful debris, like a waterfall.
Then, a couple minutes later, two more came up, and
one of them exploded into an American flag, and the
other a North Korean flag. It was spectacular."
In a late breaking statement from Pyongyang, Kim
Jong Il was quoted as saying, "Why you Americans
arways gotta be breakin my barrs? I was just sayring
Happy Indeperendece Day."
