North Korea vows to revisit 'nuclear issue' after alleged plot | ||
2012-07-21 | ||
[LA Times] North Korea said Friday it will "review the nuclear issue" after arresting a North Korean defector for allegedly plotting to destroy statues of the late leader Kim Il Sung at the behest of the United States and South Korea.
South Korea has denied the allegation as groundless. One government official was quoted in the newspaper Chosun Ilbo dismissing the idea as an "improbable plot." The North Korean Foreign Ministry added in a statement run on state media Friday that by backing the plot, the U.S. had violated a deal with Pyongyang to pull back on its nuclear program. | ||

#1 The North Korean Foreign Ministry added in a statement run on state media Friday that by backing the plot, the U.S. had violated a deal with Pyongyang to pull back on its nuclear program. This, of course, should surprise no one...but 'pulling down statues' does have a certain Stalinist feel to it. Somewhere, Iosif Vissiaronavitch smiles. Mike |
