Original Message
North Korea says it is extending the launch period for a controversial long-range rocket by a week, until December 29th.
A spokesman for the North's Korean Committee of Space Technology told the official (North) Korean Central News Agency on Monday that scientists found a “technical deficiency in the first stage control engine module of the rocket.”
The committee said on Saturday that it was considering readjusting the timing of the launch, originally scheduled to take off between December 10th and 22nd.
Japan has threatened to shoot down the missile, if it goes off course and has deployed missile interceptors in preparation.
