North Korea Tests Long-Range Rocket
-----------------------------------



The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting Sunday,
hours after North Korea defied international warnings and test-fired a
long-range rocket. The rocket flew over Japanese airspace before
crashing into the Pacific Ocean. North Korea claimed the test was a
success, but international experts disputed their claim. President Obama
condemned the launch as "provocative.”
