WASHINGTON - North Korea has positioned a Taepodong-2 missile on the launch pad at its facility in Musudan in the east of the country, U.S. officials told NBC News on Wednesday.
Speaking in Mexico City, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called it a "provocative act" that would have consequences.
Clinton told reporters that the U.S. believes a North Korean plan to fire a missile for any purpose would violate a resolution by the U.N. Security Council. She said the U.S. would raise the issue with the United Nation if the plan went forward.
Pyongyang has said it intends to use the missile to launch a satellite into space. The North Koreans issued an international notice that the launch may occur sometime between April 4-8.
