North Korea, show us the money

Filed under: World Scene by Debbie at 10:46 pm CDT

North Korea is firing short-range missiles again, as a reminder to the West they are still there, still armed and still wanting for money (payoffs, bribes, you choose the term). It is believed that these missiles only have a range of 62 miles.

A South Korean Defense Ministry official said it had intelligence that North Korea launched the short-range missiles into the sea off its western coast.“We are trying to confirm how many were fired and what type of missiles they are,” the official said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity.

South Korea’s Yonhap news agency also cited two unidentified intelligence officials as saying the North fired at least one missile. One of the officials said Pyongyang fired two — one in the morning and one in the afternoon — which is believed to be part of the communist regime’s “routine drills,” according to Yonhap. (source)

North Korea has refused to shut down its main nuclear reactor over a delay in withdrawing $25 million of its money at a Macau bank that was blacklisted by the U.S. for allegedly helping the North launder and counterfeit money. (Chron.com)
