SEOUL, April 13 (Yonhap) -- North Korea defiantly fired off a long-range rocket Friday, officials said, in a move sure to spark strong international condemnations and escalate regional tensions. "We're now tracking the flight path," an official said on condition of anonymity. The Unha-3 rocket took off from the Dongchang-ri launch site at 7:39 a.m., officials said. The North had said it would launch the rocket between April 12-16 to put what it claims is a satellite into orbit to mark the 100th birthday of Kim Il-sung, the country's late founder and grandfather of current leader Kim Jong-un. But South Korea, the United States and other regional powers had urged Pyongyang to call off the launch, seeing it as a pretext to disguise a long-range missile test banned under a U.N. Security Council resolution.

It hit the Hawaii dept of records and destroyed all traces of Stanley Obama registering the Kenyan Muslim, Barack Hussein as an import. If you look closely you can still see the imprint of the tax stamp on his skull. The Obama axis of evil, is winning.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
So the world better watch out! And be afraid! Cause they'll be able to afford to launch another one in just 3 years! LOL!
