Panetta Cites Growing Concern About North Korean Missile

The U.S. has “growing concern” that North Korea may have gained mobile missile technology that was displayed during a parade this month, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said.

“If they in fact have a mobile capability” for intercontinental ballistic missiles, the potential threat from North Korea is increased, Panetta told the House Armed Services Committee in Washington today. He said intelligence agencies are working to determine the ramifications of the display, and didn’t provide further details.
