Aso suggests NKorea to fire rocket Saturday

TOKYO. April 3. KAZINFORM Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso suggested Thursday that a rocket which North Korea is planning to launch will ''fly over Japan'' on Saturday, Kyodo News reported from the G20 summit in London.

Pyongyang says it will put a satellite into orbit. Japan and some other countries see it as a cover for a ballistic missile test. The Japanese leader also hinted at seeking a new U.N. Security Council resolution in response to such a launch. ''The launch would be in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. We must send a proper message'' to North Korea. North Korea has declared that it plans to put an experimental communications satellite into orbit on April 4-8 and notified aviation and maritime organizations in advance, Kazinform cites ITAR-TASS.
