N Korea 'preparing missile test'

South Korean and Japanese media reports cited South Korean unnamed government sources as saying the North had been moving equipment used in the launch of its Taepodong-2 missile, which the North last test-fired in July 2006. North Korea, which typically launches missiles in periods of political friction, last week said it was scrapping all agreements with South Korea in a move analysts said was aimed at pressuring Seoul and grabbing the attention of new U.S. President Barack Obama.
