N. Korea Says It Is Ready to 'Blow Up' U.S.
Monday, March 08, 2010
SEOUL, South
Korea — North Korea's army said Monday it is ready to "blow up" South
Korea and the U.S., hours after the allies kicked off annual military
drills that Pyongyang has slammed as a rehearsal for attack.
South
Korea and the U.S. — which normally dismiss such threats as rhetoric —
began 11 days of drills across South Korea on Monday morning to
rehearse how the U.S. would deploy in time of emergency on the Korean
peninsula.
The U.S. and South Korea argue
the drills — which include live firing by U.S. Marines, aerial attack
drills and urban warfare training — are purely defensive. North Korea
claims they amount to attack preparations and has demanded they be canceled.
The
North's People's Army issued a statement Monday, warning the drills
created a tense situation and that its troops are "fully ready" to
"blow up" the allies once the order is issued.
