North Korea has claimed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are plotting to kill their leader with "biochemical substances".
The North Korean regime has threatened a "counter-terrorist attack" against US and South Korean forces in retaliation for the alleged attack.
According to reports, a "terrorist group" supported by the CIA crossed the border before trying to kill the dictator.
North Korea has claimed that the aim was to kill Mr Jong-un during a public event in Pyongyang.
The state-controlled KCNA news agency said: "The heinous terrorist criminal group was discovered which infiltrated the DPRK after careful preparations."

Flailing to garner U.N. sympathy/support.
My guess, a couple starving peasants dangled their filthy feet in the Pyangyang reservoir while fishing illegally. One may have dropped a deuce in the shrubs.
...a public event in Pyongyang.
As in, there will be a public event in Pyongyang
on Tuesday, you WILL attend.
Not in my business, but likely that different services or even within service communities have different definitions. For me DF is high speed projectiles that require unobstructed LOS (e.g. IFV 35mm cannon, MBT 120mm main gun, 90mm recoilless rifle, small arms, some missiles). IDF is most artillery (unless used in DF mode), some missiles, pretty much anything fire-and-forget, or bombs.
Direct fire
Fire delivered on a target using the target itself as a point of aim for either the weapon or the director. (JP 3-09.3)
Well I should hope so! Otherwise, what good are they?
I wonder what he has for a doomsday plan? We better be ready for that.
Any bets on the inventive ways the group members will be executed? I don't think he'll settle for AA fire.
I really don't want to see him dead, but to live so that he and others can learn how "dead wrong" he was about the two Koreas being unified under the flag of freedom.
They were gonna split the bounty 5 ways ($28 each)
Dumb bastards don’t deserve being on Gods green Earth!
Sorry! Wrong thread!
You are correct that the Joint definition SHOULD be the authoritative definition. The reality is that the Army is a massive enterprise with a culture that is resistant to change and stove-piped into their domain of experience— so the message doesn’t always spread effectively. Just asked two field grade officers and similar grade Army civilian analyst who is the boss of the folks who do this kind of analysis and got the following: “Direct Fires— Those ground-to-ground fires produced by weapons in which the operator can visually see or has LOS the target.”
Not surprised that they are Army, although they should be sharper on armed helos. Farming out the FW CAS to the USAF doesn’t help their experience. Virtually any armed response in the future will be joint, if it is of any real size the air component will be tasked by the USAF in conjunction with the ground component. Intel inputs to the targeting process is joint. Any op against NK will be joint. Joint doctrine will be the common language.
the world sees lil Kim dead
I really don’t want to see him dead, but to live so that he and others can learn how “dead wrong” he was about the two Koreas being unified under the flag of freedom.

I really wouldn’t mind seeing him dead, and sooner the better. Maybe I’ve lived in Central America long enough that I have less sympathy for those that deserve to be dead than I once did.
