N. Korea will retaliate against any attempt to intercept rocket: military

SEOUL, April 2 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's military said Thursday it will retaliate
against any attempt to intercept its long-range rocket to be fired as early as
this weekend.
In what it described as important announcement, the military said it is
maintaining high-level combat readiness and will "strike back without hesitation
at hostile forces making any slight move to shoot down the rocket."
Japan said earlier that it will shoot down the rocket if it threatens to land in
its territory.
