SEOUL, July 17 (Yonhap) -- A North Korean parliamentarian has defected to South
Korea, a government source said Sunday.The source, requesting anonymity, said
the North Korean defector is now undergoing an investigation by the South Korean
intelligence agency.
But I'm sure it'll be some time before we get to hear it all. Actually, for some reason I doubt the current administration would release ANY bad news about the DPRK, so chances are we'll hear nothing.
UPDATE:
It seems the Chosun has more to offer now.
Kim reportedly told investigators North Korea had 4 kg of
plutonium and manufactured a one-ton nuclear weapon,
but added that North Korean scientists were doubtful about ability of the
developed nuclear weapon. That was why, he said, the Stalinist country had been
trying to make a miniaturized nuclear warhead weighing 500 kg, the magazine
reported.
Kim testified he himself visited Taiwan to sell North Korean-built
missiles, the monthly said. He also told investigators Pyongyang was
developing small submersible boats and stealth uniforms that were difficult to
detect on radar, while developing weapons for its 30,000-man Special Forces,
according to the magazine.
The NIS would not confirm the report, saying the government made it a rule never to comment on the status of defectors to protect
both them and any family they leave behind in North Korea.
Well now, Plutonium, Missiles and Secial Ops. ... Oh my?!!
I'm glad someone got ahold of this info. I truely believe that the ROK Gov. would prefer to have none of it see the light of day. There are some things the Sunshine policy likes to lighten and others it prefers to just leave in the shadows.
