| NATO Denies Reports that Air Strikes Targeted North Korean Embassy in Libya |
| 2011-05-13 |
| Over in Libya the North Korean embassy was reportedly struck during a NATO air strike in Tripoli on Thursday a charge that NATO has denied. The heart (urp) bleeds... State television network al-Jamahiriya TV said the air strikes which damaged military and civilian targets in the capital also included the North Korean embassy. Although the network reported major damage to the embassy NATO denied intentionally targeting the diplomatic complex calling the media reports untrue. A NATO official went on to say that the embassy is located 500 meters away from their target and that they have gone to great lengths to reduce the possibility of collateral damage during their air raids. Meanwhile just hours following his first television appearance since last month Moammar Gadhafi's Tripoli compound was bombed by NATO forces. |

| #7 OTOH VARIOUS BLOGGERS = argue or believe that the DPRK = KIMMIE + REGIME now has an excuse to launch potent, unilateral DPRK mil attack(s) agz US-ROK-JAPAN targets in NE Asia, since the Embassy locale in Tripoli is deemed sovereign DPRK soil under Internat Law. ALSO GIVES KIMMIE AN EXCUSE TO USE DPRK ANTI-US MIL INCIDENTS TO DIVERT US ATTENTION FROM IRAN + [post-Abbottabad]PAKISTAN DOMESTIC TROUBLES. |

| #5 Deja vu all over again. 1999: A detailed investigative article in the October 17 London Observer reported that NATO deliberately bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade last May, after discovering that the embassy was relaying Yugoslav military radio signals. 2011: The former Chinese president Jiang Zemin has admitted in an unpublished memoir that Serbian military intelligence units were hiding inside the Chinese embassy in Belgrade when Nato bombed it in 1999. |

| #1 Maybe it was 'cover' for a Spec-Ops raid to gather documents and files from the embassy? |
