Kim Jong-un orders full probe into Musudan missiles launches
2016/10/28
SEOUL, Oct. 28 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered a special investigation team to conduct a full-fledged probe into the causes of the failure of recent intermediate-range missiles launches, a North Korean defectors group claimed Friday.
"Kim has instructed the special investigation team to implement a probe into the national defense sector starting on Nov. 1 to make the causes for the launch failures clear," said Kim Heung-kwang, a North Korean defector and executive director of Seoul-based dissidents' group North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity, in a press conference.
Kim attributed the investigation to the North Korean leader's belief that spies from the United States and South Korea had been implicated in a series of Musudan missile failures.
It is speculated that North Korean authorities believe South Korea and the U.S. have done something detrimental to the missile parts, including the integrated circuit chips, that are imported from foreign countries, according to Kim.
Headed by the North's State Security Minister Kim Won-hong, the investigation team has around 60 anti-spy experts, he said.
Subject to investigation are all the people involved in the making of Musudan missiles.
"Officials and workers who engaged in the launches of the missiles are now banned from traveling and their mobiles phones are confiscated to check their conversation records," Kim said.
North Korea has test-fired the Musudan missile eight times since April 15 and the launches ended in failure except one on June 22, when a missile flew 400 kilometers and reached an altitude of over 1,400 km. Others blew up immediately after launch, which may indicate that Pyongyang has not fully mastered the related missile technology.
P!
Load the AA guns!
IIIRC, the Russians got pissed at the NVA during the bombing of them for firing off too many SAM-2s, and telling them they were shooting them off like fireworks..............
Somebody ain’t going home tonight!
Well once you’ve executed the A&B Team all you’re left with is the C and D team.
The probe will end after all the saboteurs have confessed.
I miss the crazy characters FreeRepublic used to have. I mean the HTML characters, not the Freepers.
I was gonna say, this is very bad news for a whole lotta people. Not to be flip about it, but there you are.
I will try to make more typos to fill the void inside your mind.:-)
“Somebody ain’t going home tonight!”
Yes, that’s the sad part about crazy dictators. They’re looking for a scapegoat, and it’ll be some innocent small-fry. Probably no guilty parties at all. You test fire rockets for a reason, and you get a lot of failures before you work all the bugs out.
Needs to be more dramatic. Look for them to strap the head rocket scientist on the next rocket.
You remember those crazy HTML characters, don’t you?
Mass executions to follow.
Being an incompetent is only an option for Kim, himself.
Then it’s perfectly okay not only to be an incompetent, but a mentally defective, brandy-swilling, full bore, all out psychopath.
Or starve the dogs.
Heads will ROLL!!
