The threat from North Korea’s aggressive posture went up another notch as the United States prepared to counter any missile attack from the isolated communist country led by the unpredictable Kim Jong Il. [1]

It was deployed earlier this week just in time to answer to a possible nuclear missile attack from North Korea. [3]

North Korea, which has been firing missiles and spewing threats against the United States, has been identified by South Korea’s main spy agency as a suspect in the cyber attacks targeting government and other Web sites in the U.S. and South Korea. [4]

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has told BBC News that we are “in a good position” to protect ourselves against a potential North Korean missile strike. [5]

[...] Gates has directed the deployment of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missiles and the Sea Based X-Band radar in the waters off Hawaii to track and attack any North Korean missile. [1]

It’s making preparations for a missile launch aimed at Hawaii. [8]
