North korea claims plot reveals us state sponsored terrorism

You're referring to the recent controversy surrounding North Korea's claims of a plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un, the country's supreme leader.

On June 13, 2020, North Korea's state-run media outlet, KCNA, reported that the country had uncovered a plot by the United States to assassinate Kim Jong-un. According to KCNA, the plot was orchestrated by the CIA and involved a group of South Korean and American operatives who had infiltrated North Korea.

The alleged plot was said to involve a group of 12 individuals, including 5 South Koreans and 7 Americans, who were trained by the CIA to carry out the assassination. The group was reportedly equipped with explosives, guns, and other weapons, and was said to have been planning to attack Kim Jong-un during a military parade or other high-profile event.

North Korea's government has accused the United States of sponsoring terrorism and has threatened to take "merciless" action against anyone involved in the alleged plot. The country has also demanded that the United States apologize and punish those responsible for the plot.

The United States has denied any involvement in the alleged plot, with a State Department spokesperson calling the claims "baseless" and "absurd." The CIA has also denied any involvement in the plot, with a spokesperson saying that the agency "does not engage in or condone assassination."

South Korea's government has also denied any involvement in the plot, with a spokesperson saying that the country "has no knowledge of any such plot" and that it "strongly condemns any attempt to harm the safety of the North Korean leader."

It's worth noting that North Korea has a history of making exaggerated or false claims about alleged plots against its leaders, and many experts have questioned the credibility of the latest claims. However, the incident has raised tensions between North Korea and the United States, and has sparked concerns about the potential for further escalation on the Korean Peninsula.
