North Korea rocket 'was domestically made'
The long-range rocket launched by North Korea last month was largely made using domestic technology, South Korea says.
December's launch - condemned by its neighbours as a banned missile test - successfully put North Korea's first satellite in space.
International sanctions prevent North Korea importing advanced technology.
Correspondents say the discovery it was able to produce the "vast majority" of the parts without foreign help will be a cause for concern.
