| North Korea tries to acquire South Korean jammers |
| 2009-10-20 |
| North Korea has been caught trying to acquire South Korean military equipment capable of jamming communications, officials said Monday. North Korean agents based in China attempted to buy two devices produced for the South Korean military in 2005 and 2007, the defence ministry said. The devices generate noise to stop an enemy from eavesdropping on communications between South Korean military units, it said. "The North's attempts, which we know of from intelligence, prompted security authorities to take steps to tighten management of related equipment," a ministry spokesman said. The ministry refused to confirm a statement from Kim Dong-Sung, a legislator from South Korea's ruling Grand National Party, that North Korea had failed to acquire the equipment. "We received a report from military security authorities that the North's attempts were unsuccessful but they did not say how," an aide to Kim told AFP. South Korea Monday described North Korea's admission of an enriched uranium nuclear weapons programme as a "very worrying" development and questioned whether the country is committed to disarming. |

| #1 South Korea Monday described North Korea's admission of an enriched uranium nuclear weapons programme as a "very worrying" development and questioned whether the country is committed to disarming. I wonder what their first clue was.... Hell I'd bet if Kimmie would just have waited Obumble would have sold it to him at a fire sale price. |
