(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-06-17 12:57 WASHINGTON - The Pentagon's second-highest ranking official claimed on Tuesday that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s missiles could reach the continental United States in the near future.
Other Pentagon officials attending the briefing also said that the DPRK is working with other nations, including Iran and potentially Syria, to develop ballistic missiles. However, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates told lawmakers last week that US missile interceptors are fully "adequate" to deter DPRK missiles for "a number of years." |
