North Korea has accused the CIA Friday, of plotting with South Korea to assassinate Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un, amid rising tensions in the region.
The Ministry of State Security claims CIA and Seoul’s Intelligence Services have “hatched a vicious plot” involving unspecified “biochemical substances” to kill the hermit state’s young leader during public ceremonial events in Pyongyang.
For the CIA “assassination by use of biochemical substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance is the best method that does not require access to the target, their lethal results will appear after six or twelve months,” the Ministry said in a statement carried by state media.
This accusation comes as Pyongyang issues continuously releases defiant rhetoric in a tense stand off with the US administration over its nuclear weapons programme. The war of words between the United States and North Korea has spiked in recent weeks, with Pyongyang threatening to carry out a sixth nuclear test that would inflame tensions.
the statement said the CIA and Seoul’s Intelligence Services (IS) have “ideologically corrupted and bribed a DPRK citizen surnamed Kim” to carry out the attack on Jong-Un.
“We will ferret out and mercilessly destroy to the last one the terrorists of the US CIA and the puppet IS of South Korea,” the statement said, adding that the plot was tantamount to “the declaration of a war”.

“The heinous crime, which was recently uncovered and smashed in the DPRK, is a kind of terrorism against not only the DPRK but the justice and conscience of humankind and an act of mangling the future of humankind.” The statement did not reveal how the plot was foiled or what happened to the alleged spy.
