China`s foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu dodged questions
concerning North Korea`s possible trial of a new long range ballistic
missile on Tuesday. In a sign of its close relations with Pyongyang,
China hosted North Korean Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun last month, and
a North Korean military delegation last week. U.S. officials say there
is evidence North Korea may have finished fuelling a Taepodong-2 missile
for a test launch, which Washington, Seoul and Tokyo have said would
present a grave threat to regional security. U.S. experts think that
North Korea has sufficient plutonium for a minimum of six nuclear
weapons and is continuing to beef up its atomic arsenal. Defense
specialists say it is plausible the North might be able to build a
nuclear warhead small enough to be fit on a missile. The warhead of a
long-range missile test-fired by North Korea was found in the U.S. state
of Alaska, a report to the National Assembly revealed yesterday.
'According to a U.S. document, the last piece of a missile warhead fired
by North Korea was found in Alaska,'' former Japanese foreign minister
Taro Nakayama was quoted as saying in the report. ``Washington, as well
as Tokyo, has so far underrated Pyongyang's missile capabilities.''
One country with a stake in the success of the new missile is waiting
quietly: Iran. "The North Korean launch of the Taepodong in fact does
have some relationship to Iran, in that we believe the Iranians helped
develop the upper stage of the North Korean rocket, or that Iranian
technology helped develop it," Craig Covault, senior editor of the
authoritative U.S. magazine "Aviation Week and Space Technology,"
explains. "So there is at the present time a technology tie between
North Korea and Iran on that launch vehicle." The Taepodong-2 thus
appears to be a cooperative effort between two countries sharply at odds
with the international community over their nuclear programs. North
Korea openly boasts it has atomic weapons. Iran is suspected of having
that aim, although it denies it.
"Just how deep that goes, I'm not sure that anybody really knows that,"
Covault says. "But there is some commonality, as well as there is with
Chinese support to Iran, and to North Korea. So there is some kind of
cross-pollination between China, North Korea, and Iran on the technology
in that Taepodong missile."
Tehran, Pyongyang, and Beijing have long had links in missile
development. An earlier North Korean manifestation of the Taepodong
series missile, the No-Dong, is thought to have been developed with
Iranian financial assistance and Chinese know-how.
In the murky world of secret technology transfers, North Korean missile
technology is thought to have played a key role in the development of
Pakistan's long-range Ghauri missile, and China in the development of
Pakistan's Shaheen-1 short-range missile.
Some U.S. and Japanese officials believe North Korea is poised to launch
because the Taepodong-2 missile has been fueled. It has been five weeks
since the first satellite imagery showed launch preparations underway at
the Musudan-ri missile facility in North Hamgyong province in
northeastern North Korea.
Military-aviation expert Andrew Brooks, of the International Institute
for Strategic Studies in London,Brooks notes that since reports say the
Taepodong-2 has already been loaded with fuel, the launch cannot be long
delayed.
"Once you fuel this thing up, you have got to fire it," Brooks says.
"[Liquid rocket fuel] doesn't just sit there, you can't [leave it]. In
the last few days, I saw reports they were loading up, in which case it
is close to firing."
That is, if it is to be launched at all. The north may be dissuaded by
the strength of the international outcry, or President Kim Jong-il may
feel the drama of recent days has been sufficient to re-focus straying
world attention on the stalled six-party talks.
