"Every once in a while I see an article where they shoot at each other on the border."

Dunno what's been happening lately, but back in the 1980's I had a BUNCH of officer type buddies who ran successful ambushes inside the DMZ at night against the NK's. The DMZ after dark is or was a free-fire zone. Anything that moves is fair game. Anybody who led a successful hit during the hours of darkness automatically had a price on their head by NK forces and they were always rotated out of the country within 24 hours. It was only spoken of inside army circles, and that news blackout held for all that time because after all, SK is also a police state. But a "benevolent police state." LOL

Facing Fresh U.S. Allegations, Iran Says It Has Dismantled al-Qaeda Groups
AFP: 7/17/2004

TEHRAN, July 17 (AFP) - Iran`s intelligence minister announced Saturday that his services had smashed al-Qaeda operations in the country, amid fresh allegations from the United States the clerical regime has been cooperating with Osama bin Laden`s network.

"The intelligence ministry has identified and dismantled all the Iranian branches of the al-Qaeda movement," Ali Yunessi was quoted as saying.

"We have stopped the terrorist acts of al-Qaeda. If we had not done so, we would have had security problems," he added. (snipped)
