Another Significant June Date? (6/25 N Korea Nuke Test)

Intelligence Brief
Drafted By: Erich Marquardt

<SNIP>

North Korea claims that it has developed a functional nuclear weapon. The Central Intelligence Agency believes that North Korea possesses one to two nuclear weapons while Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, believes this number could be as high as six.

On May 1, Pyongyang demonstrated its ability to deliver a nuclear payload to targets in the region by launching a short-range missile into the Sea of Japan; it is possible that North Korea could deliver a nuclear payload as far away as the western United States.

In light of this missile test, there is concern that North Korea may go one step further and conduct an underground nuclear weapon test. American spy satellites have recorded images showing that Pyongyang is constructing a testing observation stand and removing earth from a possible underground test site in Kilju, located in North Hamgyeong province. There is the possibility that North Korea will conduct this test on or near June 25, the anniversary of the Korean War.

We've all heard Scott Ritter and Sy Hersh say that their sources indicate an attack on Iran is scheduled for June. One would think that planners would want it to have as much pursuasive impact on North Korea, as possible. Could it be the Samson Option is scheduled for around 24th, just a day or two before the reported NK test?

This is like a return to October, 1962.
