Is there a North Korea connection?
The NK's timed their missile fit to detract from the deadline facing Iran on its nuclear ambitions. (When that didn't work, Hezbullah was brought in). Now I recall this:
Korean Air Flight 858 was a flight that flew from Abu Dhabi International Airport in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to Gimpo Airport near Seoul, South Korea via Bangkok International Airport in Bangkok. On November 29, 1987, it mysteriously disappeared.Something to chew on.According to the South Korean authorities, the Boeing 707 took off from Abu Dhabi and was flying to Bangkok on the way to Seoul. Two passengers who departed from the plane at Abu Dhabi left a radio containing 350 grams of C-4 and liquor bottle containing cca 0.7 l of PLX explosives [also called "binary liquid explosives"] in an overhead rack on the airplane. The bomb exploded while the plane was over the Andaman Sea near Thailand. Radar contact was lost at the time of the explosion.
All 11 crew members and 104 passengers on Korean Air 858 were killed, making it the deadliest terrorist attack against South Korea.
Two North Korean agents were arrested by South Korean officials shortly after the bombing. One killed himself with a suicide pill but the other, Kim Hyon Hui, was captured before she herself could commit suicide. She told investigators that the bombing was ordered by Kim Il Sung’s son, Kim Jong-il.
I was thinking there might be an Iran connection.
When did Iranian head wacko Ahmadinejad say he'd have a 'response' to US demands that he end uranium enrichment?
Wasn't sometime mid-to-late August?
