U.S. and
South Korean agents are plotting to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, state
media report.
A statement
by the ministry of state security said a terrorist group backed by the CIA and
South Korea’s intelligence agency had entered the country to attack with a
bio-chemical substance.
It said
North Korea would find and “mercilessly destroy” the terrorists.
It comes
amid high tensions in the region.
The
statement, carried by North Korean news agency KCNA, said the alleged plot
included the use of “biochemical substances including radioactive substance and
nano poisonous substance”.
The Supreme
Leader would have been targeted at a military parade and public procession,
with the results not be visible for six to 12 months afterwards, it said.
The
statement alleges that a North Korean, which it identifies only by the surname
“Kim”, had been “corrupted and bribed” by South Korean intelligence services while
he was working in Russia.
It lists
several payments made to him, and says on his return to Pyongyang he was
instructed to provide detailed information about a frequently used event ground
and to assess possible methods of attack.
“Korean-style
anti-terrorist attack will be commenced from this moment to sweep away the
intelligence and plot-breeding organisations of the U.S. imperialists and the
puppet clique,” the statement says.
A war of
words between the West and Pyongyang has escalated in recent weeks, with North
Korea threatening to carry out a sixth nuclear test.
On Saturday
North Korea conducted its second failed ballistic missile test in two weeks.
The U.S. has
sent a warship to the region and installed a controversial anti-missile defence
system in South Korea.
