U.S. initiates new missile shield; Eyes North Korea as 'provocative'...

The Pentagon activated its new U.S. ground-based interceptor missile defense
system, Bill Gertz reports in Tuesday's WASHINGTON TIMES, just as officials
announced that any long-range missile launch by North Korea would be
considered a "provocative act."
Poor weather conditions above where the missile site was located by U.S.
intelligence satellites indicates that an immediate launch is unlikely,
said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
However, intelligence officials said preparations have advanced to the point
where a launch could take place within several days to a month.
Two Navy Aegis warships are patrolling near North Korea as part of the
global missile defense and would be among the first sensors that would
trigger the use of interceptors, the officials said yesterday.
Gertz reports: The U.S. missile defense system includes 11 long-range
interceptor missiles, including nine deployed at Fort Greeley, Alaska, and
two at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The system was switched from test
to operational mode within the past two weeks, the officials said.
