"Five commando units trained for strikes, sabotage

North Korea dispatched covert commando teams to the United States in the 1990s to attack nuclear power plants and major cities in a conflict, according to a declassified Defense Intelligence Agency report.

The DIA report, dated Sept. 13, 2004, reveals that five units of covert commandos were trained for the attacks inside the country.

According to the report, the "Reconnaissance Bureau, North Korea, had agents in place to attack American nuclear power plants."…"

Brink it on …

How does NK slip teams of commandos into anywhere other than SK? It's not like there's a burgeoning stream of tourists or immigrants coming out of NK (that I know of). Would think that if 40 30-year old male immigrants from NK suddenly applied for green cards, it might raise a flag, since they're the only North Koreans coming over…

You're assuming that they don't have false ROK, PRC, or even Japanese passports.

There are small clusters of North Koreans in Japan, after all.

How convenient that this report from a decade ago should just so happen to go public at the same time as the Sony shambles is in full swing :)

Shhh.. you'll ruin the narrative…

Well, apparently they did threaten cyber attacks on our nuke plants, and some believe they have the capability to carry them out, so…..

Can't believe that we don't have separate, non-internet linked computer systems to control nuke plants, electrical grids, etc. Seems like the best way forward, for a more secure system.

Time to cut every phone line to NK, including the ones going into China. Overland, under the waves.. microwave…whatever. Wouldn't brother with wire taps… just cut the lines. Then any cyber attack from Chinese controlled lines can be directed at the Chinese telcom system if they don't end any NK "supportive" activities on China mainland soil.

Conjecture on the news tonight is that NK wouldn't have done the Sony hacking without China's approval, so…..

If any Nork SF teams came to the US back then … They may have all just gone native and are now running laundries and Asian Buffets … Pass the Kimchi please …

Not like it is difficult to buy a gun in the US after all. So all you have to do is ship in a couple of dozen commandos as normal college students under Chinese papers and you are all set.

"The heavily redacted report is what is known as a raw intelligence report,"

Oh, I thought it was something that should be taken seriously. Nothing to see here folks; move along…
