N. Korea shows rocket to foreign media

PYONGYANG, North Korea - Farmers are seen from a special train for foreign journalists in northwestern North Korea on April 8, 2012. In a rare move, Pyongyang allowed foreign media organizations, including Kyodo News, a firsthand look at preparations under way in Tongchang-ri, North Pyongan Province, for what it says is the launch of a long-range rocket for putting a satellite into space, but which is viewed by the United States and its allies as a disguised test of ballistic missile technology.
