All options open if N Korea tests missile: US envoy
Tokyo, June 21: US ambassador to Japan Thomas Schieffer today said that if North Korea launched a long-range ballistic missile it would be a ''clear violation'' of agreements it has made in the past.
The United States has activated its ground-based interceptor missile-defence system amid concerns over an expected North Korean missile launch, a US defence official said yesterday.
Asked if the United States would try to shoot down a North Korean missile, Schieffer said: ''I think what we have said is that we have greater technical measures of tracking than in the past and we have options that we have not had in the past, and all these options are on the table.''
