get ready for WWIII http://kstp.com/news/stories/S2579548.shtml?cat=1 (http://kstp.com/news/stories/S2579548.shtml?cat=1)

North Korea fired a long-range rocket early Friday, South Korean defense officials said, defying international warnings against a launch widely seen as a provocation.

In Washington, U.S. officials said the launch may have failed.

South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok told reporters in a nationally televised news conference in Seoul that North Korea launched the rocket around 7:39 a.m.

He said officials were trying to determine whether it was a success. He provided no further details, and declined to say how South Korea confirmed the launch in the west coast hamlet of Tongchang-ri.

There was no word in Pyongyang about the launch, its third attempt to send a satellite into space since 1998.

North Korea had announced it would send a three-stage rocket mounted with a satellite as part of celebrations honoring national founder Kim Il Sung, whose 100th birthday they are celebrating Sunday.

The U.S. and S.Korean government believes the rocket broke apart in mid-air and fell into the ocean.
