N. Korea repeats threat to test ICBM |
2017-01-20 |
North Korea on Friday repeated its threat to test-fire an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at any time and place ahead of the imminent launch of the Donald Trump administration. North Korean leader "An ICBM test-firing is a fair self-defense step to counter the U.S. threat of a nuclear war against us (the North) that nobody can argue," the Rodong Sinmun, a daily of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said in a commentary. The U.S. has nothing to say about whatever the North makes and tests to counter its nuclear blackmail, the daily said. "We don't care what others say, and our ICBM will be test-fired at a certain time and place which our leadership will decide." It's simply a robber's sophistry for the U.S., which conducted a Minuteman III ICBM test last year, to regard the North's ICBM test as a provocation and intimidation, the daily said. |
