North Korea Claims They Stopped CIA Assassination of Kim Jong-un
This sounds like more lies from the Kim regime which is probably more directed to their domestic audience because the CIA killing Kim does not solve the nuke problem:
North Korea on Friday accused the CIA of plotting with South Korea to assassinate leader Kim Jong-Un, amid soaring tensions in the flashpoint region.
The CIA and Seoul’s Intelligence Services have “hatched a vicious plot” involving unspecified “biochemical substances” to kill the hermit state’s young leader during public ceremonial events in Pyongyang, the Ministry of State Security said.
For the CIA “assassination by use of biochemical substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance is the best method that does not require access to the target, their lethal results will appear after six or twelve months,” the Ministry said in a statement carried by state media.
The accusation comes as Pyongyang issues increasingly belligerent rhetoric in a tense stand off with the administration of US President Donald Trump over its rogue weapons program. [AFP]
You can read more at the link, but it seems like if anyone wanted to kill Kim Jong-un it would be the Chinese who would likely have the influence to install their own strongman that would cause less international headaches than the current Kim regime.
So, is the NK spokesperson saying that IF Kim dies within the next year, then that proves the CIA done it? I mean, I don’t really expect their progpaganda to make any sense (it’s like a 20-episode K-drama with episodes, 3, 7,8, 13 and 17 inexplicably missing, with the remaining ones aired in random order), but maybe the kid really does have a disease that will kill him in a year. We can hope, anyway…..
