SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The top U.S. military commander in South Korea said Monday that last week's North Korean missile tests were provocative and a threat to Seoul. Gen. B.B. Bell said that although he welcomed moves by Pyongyang to live up to its commitment to dismantle its nuclear program, the country still remains a military threat.Last week, North Korea test-fired three surface-to-surface missiles that landed in the North's territorial waters, according to Defense Department officials. It was the third time in a month that North Korea has test-fired a short-range missile, following launches May 25 and June 7.
