South Korean conservative activists shout slogans with placards showing portraits of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un during a protest denouncing North Korea's rocket launch, in Seoul on December 12, 2012. North Korea's rocket launch is evidence of a new ballistic missile capability that sharply raises the stakes over Pyongyang's nuclear programme and poses a direct threat to the United States, analysts say.
