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).
