DPRK places long-range rocket into position for launch  Seoul,
Dec. 5 (Xinhua-ANI): The Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(DPRK) has completed placing all three stages of its long- range
rocket into position for a controversial satellite launch,
Yonhap news agency reported Wednesday.  The installation of the
rocket on the launch pad in Tongchang- ri in the DPRK's far
northwest is believed to have been finished, a South Korean
government source told Yonhap news agency. "Some workers are
pulling out of the site,"the source said.  The DPRK announced on
Saturday that it plans to launch a working satellite using a
three-stage rocket between December 10 and 22.  South Korea,
which sees the move as a disguised attempt to develop a long-
range ballistic missile capable of delivering nuclear weapons,
called the launch plan a "grave provocation".  The DPRK is now
expected to install support equipment, such as radar and
cameras, according to Yonhap.  The rocket is likely to be
launched between December 10 and 12 afte
