BBC News - North Korea has more secret nuclear sites - UN report

BBC News - North Korea has more secret nuclear sites - UN report: "UN experts believe North Korea has at least one hidden nuclear site, according to leaks of a UN report.
The report relies on evidence from US scientist Siegfried Hecker who visited a secret site in November last year.
He told the UN's panel of experts that the centrifuges he saw probably came from other hidden facilities, say reports quoting unnamed diplomats.
The panel's report, which has not yet been published, was handed to the Security Council last week."

NATO Missile Defense for Europe





NATO has agreed to provide ballistic missile defense or BMD for all of Europe. This NATO BMD will protect NATO (European and American) military forces in Europe. It will also – for the very first time – protect the civilian population throughout Europe from ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction launched from the Middle East.
Much of this NATO missile defense for Europe – known as the European Phased Adaptive Approach – will actually be provided by the United States armed forces. This will include seaborne AEGIS missile defense on board US Navy ships in the Mediterranean, as well as land based radars and interceptor missiles.
This e-book describes how NATO missile defense for Europe will be organized and implemented.
