    South Korea Reveals It Has A Plan To Assassinate Kim Jong Un

    Kim Jong Un inspects Farm No. 1116 in an undisclosed location in a photo released September 13, 2016.
    South Korea has elite troops on standby ready to assassinate Kim Jong Un if the country feels threatened by North Korean nuclear weapons, the country's defense minister revealed this week.
    Asked in parliament Wednesday if there was a special forces unit already assembled that could eliminate North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, Han Min-koo said: "Yes, we do have such a plan. "
    "South Korea has a general idea and plan to use precision missile capabilities to target the enemy's facilities in major areas as well as eliminating the enemy's leadership," he added.
    It has long been suspected that such a plan was in place but the minister's candid answer surprised some.
    "A president would want to have the option," says Daniel Pinkston of Troy University. "... Not presenting that to the president, not training for it and having that capability would be a mistake."

    February 2013: In a message to the United States and South Korea, North Korea vowed "miserable
    destruction" if "your side ignites a war of aggression by staging reckless joint military exercises."

    June 2012: Once again, North Korea vowed to be "merciless" in its promised attack on the
    United States, this time threatening a "sacred war" as it aimed artillery at South Korean media
    groups. North Korea was mad that South Korean journalists had criticized Pyongyang children's
    festivals meant to fosterallegiance to the Kim family

    2002: U.S. President George W. Bush includes North Korea in an "axis of evil" with Iran and Iraq,
    which North Korea brushes off as a "little short of a declaration of war." North Korea reportedly
    threatened to "wipe out the aggressors." That year, North Korea also threatened to kick
    out international inspectors who were in the country to monitor its compliance with global
    nuclear nonproliferation agreements.
    South Korea has intensified its rhetoric against the leadership of North Korea since Pyongyang claimed a successful test of a nuclear warhead on September 9.
    This week it tested a new type of high powered rocket engine of the type that could be used for an intercontinental ballistic missile.
    'Worst case scenario'
    The defense ministry has said it is planning for the worst case scenario and assumed North Korea was ready to conduct a sixth nuclear test.


    Earlier this month, Leem Ho Young, Chief Director of Strategic Planning at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described a new system called the Korea Massive Punishment & Retaliation (KMPR) just hours after North Korea claimed it had tested a nuclear warhead.
    It would involve surgical missile attacks, exclusive special warfare units and an ability to strike North Korea's leadership if South Korea feels threatened by nuclear attack.

    Meanwhile, North Korea accused the United States of pushing the peninsula to the brink of war after this week's flyover of two US B-1B bombers close to the DMZ or demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea.
    A US military source told CNN this is the closest this type of bomber has ever flown to North Korea.
    Pyongyang said it was a "vicious scenario to make a preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK," according to state-run news agency KCNA.
