North Korea begins testing mounting anthrax onto ICBMs, report says<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

North Korea begins testing mounting anthrax onto ICBMs, report says:- North Korea is beginning tests on mounting anthrax onto intercontinental ballistic missiles that would strike the U.S., a report said on Wednesday just two days after the White House\u2019s U.S. National Security Strategy stated Kim Jong Un is pursuing chemical and biological weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hermit Kingdom is beginning experiments to test out if anthrax can endure immense heat and pressure it will have to endure when loaded into an ICBM and launched toward the earth\u2019s atmosphere, Japan\u2019s Asahi newspaper reported, citing an unidentified person connected to South Korea\u2019s intelligence services.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNorth Korea has started experiments such as heat and pressure equipment to prevent anthrax from dying even at a high temperature of over 7,000 degrees generated at the time of ICBM’s re-entry into the atmosphere,\u201d the report stated. \u201cIn part, there is unconfirmed information that it has already succeeded in such experiments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, the White House released its U.S. National Security Strategy that said North Korea is \u201cpursuing chemical and biological weapons which could also be delivered by missile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNorth Korea\u2014a country that starves its own people\u2014has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that could threaten our homeland,\u201d the document said.<\/span><\/p>\n

North Korea vehemently denied the report and accused the U.S. of cooking \u201cup untruths as truths\u201d and using biological weapons during the Korean War.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cProperly speaking, it is the U.S. stereotyped method to cook up untruths as truths, stubbornly insisting that black is white and fabricating anything for satisfying their aggressive greed,\u201d the state-run Korean Central News Agency stated. \u201cAnd the U.S. itself is an empire of evils full of plots, fabrications, lies and deceptions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It added, \u201cIt is none other than the U.S., chattering on \u2018morality\u2019 and \u2018civilization,\u2019 the criminal state that massacred the Korean people by bacteriological weapons during the Korean War and inflict sufferings upon the innocent people by continuing even now to openly use the internationally prohibited weapons.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

South Korea has long suspected North Korea was developing biological weapons. A report by Harvard Kennedy School\u2019s Belfar Center for Science and International Affairs stated the dictatorship may have \u201canthrax and smallpox\u201d pathogens that could be turned into weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n

North Korea is believed to have started its chemical and biological weapons program in the early 1960s and began possibly weaponizing biological agents in the 1980s, according to the report.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim Jong Un\u2019s scientists launched its \u201cgreatest\u201d ICBM in late November that the regime claimed could carry a \u201csuper-heavy nuclear warhead\u201d that could strike \u201cthe whole mainland of the U.S.\u201d However, North Korea has set to perfect its re-entry technology. A U.S. official told Fox News the Hwasong-15 ICBM did not survive re-entry into the Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n
