DIA: North Korea Planned Attacks on US Nuclear Plants -- Washington Free Beacon
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.”
The document states that the North Korean Ministry of People’s Armed Forces, the ministry in charge of the military, “established five liaison offices in the early 1990s, to train and infiltrate operatives into the United States to attack nuclear power plants and major cities in case of hostilities.”

My Comment: Over the years I have read numerous reports on U.S. military/special forces/etc. conducting training exercises to infiltrate North Korea. Would the North Koreans do the same .... if the above report is accurate, I would have to say yes. But this should surprise no one .... the North Koreans themselves have been very blunt and public that they are prepared to wage nuclear war against the U.S. .... and they have been saying that for years .... North Korea says it has approval to use its 'cutting edge' nuclear weapons against America in a 'merciless' attack hours after U.S. warns of 'clear and present danger' (Daily Mail).

The hats (re: picture) would be a dead give away, not to mention the little note books they are always carrying around.
James .... the strangest bunch of diplomats that I have ever met in my entire life are those from North Korea.
WNU,
"the strangest bunch of diplomats that I have ever met in my entire life are those from North Korea."
Well no wonder, if you had to wear those hats, write down EVERYTHING this character did, and be ready to clap endlessly at the, ahem, drop a hat, wouldn't you be a little strange.
All seriousness aside, if you had to live under the constant threat of death from any direction and for no apparent reason, you'd be a little balmy too. I have no sympathy for these guys though, they got into where they are now to get a leg up and now they're stuck in a situation where their death at his hands increases by nearness to him in power. By stuck I also mean there is no backing out save death or going for the brass ring itself through him. I would find it strange a person could keep their sanity at all in those conditions.
I always saw it as a schizophrenic situation. You have a public face .... and one that you keep for yourself and (maybe) among your close and trusted family members.
This is why the scourge of Communism is going to take a long time to work itself out of Russia. The ideology is dead, but the culture of fear and suspicion that it left behind will take a hundred years if not more to work itself out.
Probably the generation that would be our grand children is when it'll start to really fade.
