North Korea is plotting attacks on South Korean embassies, spy agency warns

Source: Telegraph via AOL News

North Korea is plotting “terrorist” attacks targeting South Korean officials and citizens abroad, Seoul’s spy agency has warned.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it had recently “detected numerous signs that North Korea is preparing for terrorist attacks against our embassy staff or citizens in various countries, [such as] China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East”.

“North Korea has dispatched agents to these countries to expand surveillance of the South Korean embassies and is also engaging in specific activities such as searching for South Korean citizens as potential terrorist targets,” the spy agency said.

The NIS said the increased threat appeared to be linked to a wave of defections by elite North Koreans who were trapped overseas during the pandemic and are now avoiding returning home after Pyongyang eased strict border controls, having become “sceptical” of the regime.

Hamas wanted a war and got one
Russia wanted a war and got one

China wants are trying to start a war with Taiwan and Philippines and India and is trying hard to start one.

North Korea will now try too apparently.

But only one that gets attacked and retaliated gets protested and demonized worldwide.

They are still in a truce situation and I expect NK has been "trying" for 72 years.

They want a war and I believe Winnie the Flu has empowered Jabba the Kim.

so it's been 7 decades of a simmering "war".

But since NK is supplying weapons and supplies to Russia, I would think that Pootie would keep him in check for the time being and let them continue to saber rattle without actually thrusting the saber.

emphasis off Ukraine. I think Putin and his backers world over realized T's type of chaos works. The question is why Ukraine? I think there's more to Putin wanting it than what we know on the surface..

Hamas- we don't send 4 billion a year in arms to them since the 70's.
Russia- we don't send 4 billion a year in arms to them since the 70's.
China- we don't send 4 billion a year in arms to them since the 70's.
North Korea- we don't send 4 billion a year in arms to them since the 70's.
But only one that gets attacked and retaliated gets protested and demonized worldwide.- we do send 4 billion a year in arms to them since the 70's.
When we fund something that does things that we don't like we protest them to bring awareness that our money is going towards funding that thing should not a difficult concept.
Thanks,
Eko.
