North korea’s biological war: jong-un's weaponises deadly diseases

“The North is also suspected of maintaining numerous facilities for cultivating and producing the bacteria of anthrax and other forms of biological weapons.” It is warned even a kilogram

could “disrupt most military targets” and could be delivered missiles and aircraft.  The report says: “Even a kilogram of many types of biological weapons could disrupt most military targets

if delivered properly and this quantity could easily be delivered by special operations forces. Missiles and aircraft could also deliver this quantity of biological weapons. “Indeed, North

Korea special forces are a likely means for delivering North Korean biological weapons. North Korea has some 200,000 special forces, a small fraction of which could deliver devastating

biological attacks against South Korea, Japan, and even the United States. “North Korea could use biological agents in isolation, perhaps as an escalated provocation in which it seeks to

infect a limited number of people, or it could use biological agents as the leading edge of an invasion of the ROK, hoping for thousands or even more infections to weaken the ROK’s defences

and will to fight. Biological weapon use in the latter context is particularly worrisome.” Universities and research institutes are among the places across the hermit kingdom where North

Korea’s biological weapon programme is being developed, according to the Rand report.  It reads: “In 1993, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, successor to the Soviet Union’s KGB,

released a statement that said, in part: ‘North Korea is performing applied military-biological research in a whole number of universities, medical institutes and specialised research

institutes.  “‘Work is being performed in these research centres with inducers of malignant anthrax, cholera, bubonic plague and smallpox.  “‘Biological weapons are being tested on the

island territories belonging to the DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea).’ Mr Gordon Oehler, director of the CIA’s [Central Intelligence Agency’s] Non-Proliferation Centre, confirmed

this Russian report.’” The information comes to light as North Korea and US relations deteriorate following Kim Jong-un’s recent successful intercontinental ballistic missile test.  World

War Three fears have been growing as North Korea continues to flex its military muscle and experts warn the nation is capable of reaching Alkaska and as far as the west coast.
