Peter Walker “North Korea threatens US, claiming White House was involved in film plot” http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/22/north-korea-threatens-target-white-house-obama-sony-hacking
映画The InterviewとSony Picturesへのサイバー攻撃を巡る北朝鮮の恫喝がエスカレートして、ホワイト・ハウスを直撃すると息巻いている；
北朝鮮の「国防委員会政策局」の名で発せられたアジビラは、北朝鮮による事実上の自供或いは犯行声明と考えていいのかどうか。
North Korea is threatening to retaliate against the US over a Hollywood film portraying the assassination of Kim Jong-un, saying it has “clear evidence” that Washington was heavily involved in devising the plot.The stern but vague warnings come after Sony Pictures decided last week to cancel the release of The Interview following cyber-attacks and threats against the company. North Korea also said the US government was wrong to “recklessly” claim Pyongyang was behind the hacking.
The accusations were issued by the country’s powerful Policy National Defence Commission*2 in a 1,600-word statement run on North Korea’s state news agency, KCNA*3. Amid the colourful phrasing*4 typical of official North Korean statements – the US was referred to as “the cesspool of terrorism” while the storyline of The Interview was called “vicious and dastardly” – were warnings of unspecified retaliation over the comedy action film, which centres on a plan to kill the supreme leader.
North Korea had “already launched the toughest counteraction” to the film, the statement said, without specifying what this might involve. “Nothing is [a] more serious miscalculation than guessing that just a single movie production company is the target of this counteraction. Our target[s are] all the citadels of the US imperialists who earned the bitterest grudge of all Koreans,” it added.
“The army and people of the DPRK are fully ready to stand in confrontation with the US in all war spaces, including cyber warfare to blow up those citadels,” the statement said, using the formal name for North Korea.
