N Korea pulls out of inter-Korean liaison office

"They didn't care"

The North has recently summoned several of its top diplomats around the world back to Pyongyang.

Worth bumping this thread, in light of today's revelations from Spain.

A shadowy group committed to ousting North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has claimed it was behind a raid last month at the North Korean embassy in Spain. Cheollima Civil Defense, a self-styled human rights group, reportedly fled with computers, a phone and hard discs. The break-in occurred just days before a key summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Hanoi, Vietnam. El País even reports that two of the group have links to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA declined to comment to the BBC.

On the embassies

“They are launch pads for global cyber attacks and thefts, assassinations, kidnappings, and hostage taking – including of the families of their own diplomats. This charade of pretending that the regime is a normal government must stop – the regime is simply a giant criminal enterprise.”

Be interesting to see how this one plays out.
