SEOUL, South Korea North Korea is telling its citizens to get ready for a long war with the U-S.
That comes from a set of guidelines issued by the North last April and published in a South Korean newspaper today. The document is classified as "top secret" and the paper isn't saying how it obtained it.
The 33-page manual orders North Koreans to be ready to move to underground bunkers and to take along weapons, food and portraits of their leader, Kim Jong Il.
The manual says the U-S has "cooked up suspicion" over the North's nuclear program and intends to "strangle and destroy" the communist country.
Some analysts say the guidelines are intended to whip up a sense of crisis among North Korea's 22 (m) million people amid growing economic hardships.
I think it might need more time to recharge.
