AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, The threat of a new missile test by North Korea eased Aug. 4 after Pyongyang apparently removed a long-range missile from its launch site, a newspaper reported.

One month ago, North Korea test-fired several missiles including a longe-range Taepodong-2 reportedly capable of hitting U.S. soil.

A second Taepodong that had been brought to the missile site prior to the July launch has now been removed from an assembly plant and taken to an undisclosed destination, the JoongAng daily said.
