N. Korea beefs up counterintelligence following nuclear test
SHENYANG, China, Oct. 29 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has toughened surveillance of locals suspected of gathering information about its atomic and military activities in the wake of its Oct. 9 atomic bomb test, an informed source said Sunday.
The Ministry of People's Security, Pyongyang's top police agency, issued a directive to its security agencies on Oct. 15 that they should closely monitor and report suspicious activities, the source said.
Those subject to stronger surveillance include former North Korean defectors, former convicts, smugglers, merchants and those who have relatives in China, the source said.
"North Korea issued the order for increased surveillance, believing that intelligence activities from the outside will intensify after its underground nuclear test," the source said.
The Security Ministry also decided to conduct a joint inspection with a regional army unit every month and such inspections of accommodation facilities twice every week, the source said.
As China joined the United Nations' punitive sanctions against North Korea for its nuclear test, Pyongyang increased guard patrols in its region bordering China out of fear of mass defections by its people, the source said. Also, the value of Chinese currency and rice prices in the North Korean market have risen, the source said.
"In the face of international sanctions, and concerned over possible mass defections, North Korea has dispatched a guard officer every 20 meters along its border region," the source said.
Chia Head's military is in the same shape as Saddam's.
They are in fact concerned about that, yes.
Another implication is that it might be a good time to feed disinformation into the NK command and control.
MI Ping
A safe bet would be on the Chicom Intel versus the NK anti intel thugs.
I'm sure we're not throwing a little gasoline into their fire....
We value your input no matter where you are when doing the inputting. (or something like that.)
"I'm sure we're not throwing a little gasoline into their fire...."
We must not be doing that, or we would have read about it in the NY Slimes, LA Slimes and WashingtonCompost, and we would have seen it on CNN between their sniper snuff videos.
There are still a few things we can get away with as long as we don't brief a Congressman, (aka: enemy agent.)
Is the PRNK having dialog with Hans Blix?
"There are still a few things we can get away with as long as we don't brief a Congressman, (aka: enemy agent.)"

It is true.
When there are foreign spies, there is always a stash of foreign arms and advanced communication tools and an unsuspected escape route, maybe they are trying to get that.
It's only natural since these tools are probably 100x more advanced than their old ones.
