N.Korea Issues Standing Order To Execute Former S.Korea President

• http://www.zerohedge.com

Two days ago, Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported that former South Korean President Park Geun-hye had made plans to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, adding that Ex-president Park, who was impeached in a corruption scandal earlier this year, signed a document approving a "leadership change" in North Korea back in 2015. According to the Japanese outlet, South Korea's intelligence agencies were to prepare operations to carry out the plan.

The report noted that the plotters considered arranging accidents, with a car accident or the derailment of a train carrying Kim Jong-un on the table. Park's administration also reportedly considered staging a coup in North Korea.

The military activities of South Korea's communist neighbor, including its nuclear arms development programs, apparently motivated the alleged plot, Asahi Shimbun notes. Tension between Seoul and Pyongyang spiked in August of 2015 as the countries exchanged fire after the North fired a projectile at the border city of Yeoncheon. However, the plans to assassinate the North Korean leader were not picked up by President Moon Jae-in's administration after Park's impeachment, the daily reports.

One month ago, North Korea accused US and South Korean spy agencies of plotting to kill Kim Jong-un with some "biochemical substances," the country's Ministry of State Security said, as quoted by AFP.

Turns out he was right. And, as of today, he is out for revenge.

According to Reuters, North Korea has issued a standing order for the execution of former South Korean President Park Geun-hye and her spy chief for a plot to assassinate its leader.

The North's official KCNA said "revelation showed" Park had masterminded a plot to execute its "supreme leadership" in 2015 and it was imposing the "death penalty on traitor Park Geun-hye".

KCNA did not disclose the source of the revelation but a Japanese newspaper reported this week that Park in 2015 approved a plan to overturn the North Korean regime of leader Kim Jong Un.
