"The 'Chosun Ilbo' has acquired a thesis written secretly in August last

Seoul, April 22 (KPS)-- Korean Overseas Information Service
"Former top North Korean ideologue Hwang Jang-yop, who
recently defected, wrote in an article that North Korea is
capable of turning South Korea into a sea of fire and scorched
land by attacking with nuclear and chemical weapons and
rockets, the Chosun Ilbo reported today. "One would be
committing a criminal act before the nation, if one takes
an ambiguous attitude towards war, by thinking that North
Korea is highly unlikely to launch an unwinnable war," the
article said."

N. Korea says it won't be shaken by defector
http://www.merc.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2558756-ccd
North Korea could turn the capitalist South into a "sea of flames" and
scorch Japan in a nuclear attack, a top Pyongyang defector was quoted
as saying in a leading Seoul newspaper Tuesday. The Chosun Ilbo daily
published a document it said was written by Hwang Jang-yop last
August, before he became the highest-ranked North Korean official ever
to flee his homeland. On Tuesday, Seoul diplomats left New York after
talks failed to wrest agreement from Pyongyang to join proposed peace
talks between the two Koreas, the United States and China.
