N. Korea moving toward missile launch: source

SEOUL, Feb. 3 (Yonhap) -- North Korea appears to be preparing for the launch of
an inter-continental missile, a South Korean intelligence source said Tuesday,
amid rising tension on the divided peninsula.
The source said a North Korean train carrying a long cylinder-shaped object has
recently been spotted by U.S. and South Korean intelligence agencies, adding it
is believed to be a Taepodong-2 missile.
It is likely that the preparation of a missile launch will be completed in a
month or two, the source said.
