PYONGYANG, North Korea (Reuters) — North Korea Foreign Ministry on Thursday (May 11) said it had unveiled a plot attack against its leadership with a bio-chemical weapon this week, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
In a briefing to foreign envoys and its representatives in Pyongyang, North Korean deputy Foreign Minister Han Song Ryol said it will begin an “anti-terrorism mop-up operation” in their own way.
A North Korean statement on May 5, carried by the KCNA – which often issues shrill, bellicose threats and accusations against the United States and South Korea – said the foreign intelligence agencies “infiltrated” North Korea “to commit state-sponsored terrorism.”
A video provided by North Korea’s official news agency KCNA, which Reuters cannot independently verify, showed the briefing to foreign envoys in Pyongyang.
