One interesting note on this article. Usually in this newspaper, a N. Korea-related news article is shown up in Korean text first, and then it is translated in English. For this article, there is no corresponding article in Korean. They wrote the English version first. I wonder why.

Very Good Catch!

I've never heard any hint of an organization that wants to bring down the government but I had read a story (maybe here I don't remember where) that several Syrians were killed in the explosion and the train was moving SCUD parts. Sounds like this is just cover with the added benefit of a good excuse to round up the cell phones.

I had an interesting lunch about 10 days with someone fairly in the know (ROK side). He mentioned this is the current rumour. He also placed Fat Chia Bastard at the scene much more closer to the hour of the explosion, rather than the 10-12 hours of separation widely reported.

He also said that Chungguk may be involved, if it were indeed a termination plot (even that is still unconfirmed). They may have aligned with disgruntled DPRK forces within. But hard to say.

Cover story to hide what really was going on. Standard operating procedure.

That level of keen insight tells me as much about you as it does about the article!
