SEOUL, July 10 (UPI) -- Suspects with homemade bombs attempted to detonate a symbol of the North Korean regime in July, according to a source inside the country.

The monuments known as the towers of "eternal life" are frequently found in North Korean towns and cities, and used to idolize the Kim regime. A tower in Dokchon, South Pyongan Province was the target of a failed bombing, South Korean news outlet Newsis reported.

A source in North Korea's Jagang Province, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Radio Free Asia the incident occurred on the night of July 2.

Clues at the scene indicated more than one suspect may have been involved in the plot.

The bombers had filled portable gasoline containers with nitrogen fertilizer then attempted to detonate the tower of eternal life in Dokchon.

Gutsy move by someone.....every now and then we see and hear such from N.Korea. There’s more of a rebellious undercurrent there then the authorities want to admit of course.

Probably a false flag operation designed to give the regime a chance to clean house of corrupt running dog imperialist stooges.

If they were trying to make ANFO, the recipe is not exactly right.

Isn’t ANFO a super simple recipe?

I thought the Oklahoma bomber used it.
