North Korea sets date to launch satellite

North Korea gave notice it will launch a communications satellite into orbit between April 4 and April 8. However, some intelligence agencies see the widely anticipated launch as a cover for a test of its longest-range missile, banned by the UN. Daniel Pinkston of the Ploughshares-funded International Crisis Group believes the rocket would actually be configured for a satellite launch, which would "make a lot of sense because of the propaganda value."
