North Korea’s official newspaper Rodong Sinum says the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) attempted to assassinate leader Kim Jong-un in May.
Criticizing a UN decision to set up a “Counter-Terrorism Office” earlier this year, Rodong noted in a weekend commentary that the US was using the “pretext” of counter-terrorism and non-proliferation “to overthrow legitimate governments in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya one by one by waging military attacks on those countries.”
Citing an example, the newspaper alleged the US had made a previously undisclosed assassination try against Kim this spring using biological and chemical agents.
