N. Korea complains 'US, South terrorist plot'

[Saint in Paradise]

North Korea has asked the UN to condemn an alleged terrorist plot by the US and South Korea to discredit Pyongyang by blowing up

a statue of the late Eternal President Kim Il-sung.

 

The alleged plot first surfaced in mid-July, when a man identified as Jon Yong-chul gave details of his plan to demolish statues with

a remotely controlled bomb in a press conference in Pyongyang. He claimed South Korean and American agents paid him and sent him

across North Korea’s border with China to demolish a Kim Il-sung statue in a nearby town. He was caught during a reconnaissance

mission as he was trying to return to China, he said.

MKake it look like there is internal opposition to the regime, possibly encouraging a revolt.

You'd be surprised at the effect a statue can have on morale...
