US to carry out first ICBM intercept test

WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) The United States will test an existing missile defense system to try to intercept an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) next week, US officials said today, at a time when North Korea is trying to develop one.
The test, scheduled for Tuesday, is the first time the United States will try to intercept an ICBM.
The United States has used the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, managed by Boeing Co. and in place to counter attacks from rogue states such as North Korea, to intercept other types of missiles but never an ICBM.
