If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

Seoul (AFP) - North Korea on Friday accused the CIA of plotting with South Korea to assassinate leader Kim Jong-Un, amid soaring tensions in the flashpoint region.

The CIA and Seoul's Intelligence Services have "hatched a vicious plot" involving unspecified "biochemical substances" to kill the hermit state's young leader during public ceremonial events in Pyongyang, the Ministry of State Security said.

For the CIA "assassination by use of biochemical substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance is the best method that does not require access to the target, their lethal results will appear after six or twelve months," the Ministry said in a statement carried by state media.

The accusation comes as Pyongyang issues increasingly belligerent rhetoric in a tense stand off with the administration of US President Donald Trump over its rogue weapons programme.

The war of words between the West and the reclusive regime has spiked in recent weeks, and Pyongyang has threatened to carry out a sixth nuclear test that would further inflame tensions.

The CIA and Seoul's Intelligence Services (IS) have "ideologically corrupted and bribed a DPRK citizen surnamed Kim" to carry out the attack on Jong-Un, the statement said.

"We will ferret out and mercilessly destroy to the last one the terrorists of the US CIA and the puppet IS of South Korea," the statement said, adding that the plot was tantamount to "the declaration of a war".

"The heinous crime, which was recently uncovered and smashed in the DPRK, is a kind of terrorism against not only the DPRK but the justice and conscience of humankind and an act of mangling the future of humankind."

The statement did not give any information on how the plot was foiled or what happened to the alleged spy.

North Korea maintains extensive surveillance operations over its own population, and open dissent against the regime is considered extremely difficult

You only need drones. That guy isn't even hiding anywhere.

[Wyrt]

I'm sure the CIA has worked out multiple scenarios for an assassination. They've probably worked out multiple scenarios for assassinating every leader on the planet. They've pulled off many in the past.

It's probably true. I mean that's like Assad figuring out that the US wants him out of the way.

I just hope someone starts something. A bigger scale than Syria would be pleasant since it seems humans only need some shallow reason to react.

You know, this got me thinking. What's to stop any government, or someone with a high end, top of the line drone from attaching gun barrels to a drone, or even c4 and just straight up murdering this fat sack of human excrement?

What's going to stop the drone, besides the distance from the drone to the remote that controls it? Some half starving soldier with a 1960s rifle?

I swear Kim's deepest desire is to be a screenwriter.

Just like his father!!!

Fidel seems to do just fine for a very long time. I guess they just had to wait till he was out of power, and in his 90s to finally get em.

CIA doesn't want Fidel dead.

[Linkedblade]

Are they accepting American journalists to do interviews?

They couldn't kill Fidel Castro. They're not gonna kill this guy.

IDK dude.

I've done a lot of reading about the regime and seen some really good documentaries about how their economy works and the literal cult of personality that exists surrounding The Kim family. They are almost worshipped as deities and getting spies into and out of NK is notoriously difficult.

They couldn't kill Fidel Castro. They're not gonna kill this guy.

In the 60's.

Welcome to 2017 and drone warfare.

[IIamaKing]

Im sure they have been. Will they actually get the green light to? Who knows. But this sort of accusation is like saying, "Man accuses Fire Dpt of putting out fire".

[Canpinter]

I mean i honestly hope the CIA has been trying to figure out ways to kill him just so we can have the ability to if need be.

[Independent voter]

CIA doesn't want Fidel dead.

Fidel is dead.

[GennGreymane]

I mean, they probably do..... its the CIA.

[Puupi]

Fidel is dead.

Oh, right...I forgot.

Well then, even more so, CIA doesn't want him dead!

[Seani]

It was a slow news day in Pyongyang.

[yetgdhfgh]

I bet he's got an amazing draft of a M*A*S*H reboot just sitting in his desk drawer.

More than likely LOL
