North Korea tests bio-arms on dwarves Thousands of disabled, political prisoners used in WMD experiments beyond nukes
Not only is North Korea planning to carry out a second nuclear test early next year, according to Britain's MI6 secret security service, but it is also expanding its biological warfare program with thousands of people, including the disabled, dwarves and political prisoners as the guinea pigs.
Based on interviews with defectors from North Korea to its southern neighbor after the Oct. 9 plutonium device test, MI6 believes the next nuclear test Kim Jong-II will order "will probably take place early next year."
The prediction is assessed from data obtained by U.S. satellite surveillance and by intense surveillance of North Korea's embassy in London. The small, redbrick-fronted house in Gunnersbury Avenue in the northwest suburb of the city is nowadays the most watched mission in Britain.
The surveillance has also produced confirmation of the growing extent of North Korea's bio-war program.
An MI6 report reveals "a wide variety of chemical and germ agent experiments are conducted in an area north of Pyongyang known as 'Ward 49.' It consists of a dozen camps, equipped with laboratories. As well as prisoners incarcerated for speaking out against the regime, the camps hold thousands of people said to be 'disabled.' These include dwarves. They receive only the minimum of food to keep them alive for experiments."
The experiments are conducted by staff employed at Institute 398 located at Sogram-ri province in the south of Pyongyang province. A sign of its importance is revealed by recent satellite photographs showing the Institute ring-fenced by three battalions of troops. There were previously two.
The image shows the institute is a half-mile square area. Its featureless buildings include a headquarters block, a communications center, barracks and fuel storage tanks. There is also a housing facility for the scientists. Most of the research laboratories are underground.
The institute is believed to be still under the command of Dr. Yi Yong Su. MI6 has established the 51-year-old geneticist is widely feared by her 250 colleagues at the institute. She is also known to have a close relationship with Kim Jong-il. That relationship is now included in an analysis by one of the world's foremost political psychologists.
For the past 21 years, Dr. Jerrold Post has been putting the likes of Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro on his virtual couch in his office in suburban Washington, D.C. Just as he has never met them, so he has never met his latest patient 7,000 miles away: Kim Jong-iI.
Post describes Kim as: "An attention-seeking personality who pursues his penchant for wayward behaviour and scares the world in the process.
"Kim is not clinically crazy, but he has some major psychological problems which help to explain his actions," Post added.
Post is the founder and director of the Center for the Analysis of Personality and Political Behavior in Washington. Every president, secretary of state and secretary of defense has depended on his profiles of foreign enemies. He has proven to be uncannily correct in his assessments of, among others, Osama bin Laden.
"In every sense his judgment has shown to be accurate," President Bush has said.
Now it is Kim's turn to be psychoanalyzed by the man he has never met. Using a wide range of documents – secret intelligence reports, some from inside North Korea, and the testimony of those who have escaped Kim's harsh rule – Post said: "The better we can read his mindset, the better to estimate the possibility of him pushing the nuclear button."
Post believes that Kim's insecurities – "his malignant narcissism, paranoia and defensive aggression" – date from his relationship with his father rather than the mother-child bond. This has shaped all Kim has done and will do.
"As the son of the founder of North Korea's state religion of juche, he has been given semi-divine qualities by the country's very powerful propaganda machine.
"It is hard enough to follow in the footsteps of your father when he was once a monarch or a president, as I am certain George W. Bush will confirm. But such problems seem small when you succeed a father who has been given godlike qualities," said Post.
Working with a small library of news footage and still photographs of Kim, Post has concluded his insecurities are enhanced by Kim's lack of height. He stands at only 5' 2" without his platform shoes and he tries to look taller by maintaining a bouffant hairstyle.
"In many ways he has the classic Napoleon complex. The same extreme self-absorption, grandiose views and a well developed indifference to human suffering. Any resistance is met with even greater brutality. For instance, he enjoys watching videos of public execution. But most alarming of all, he believes he must be a major player in the major weapons league," Post has concluded.
So how does the West handle such a personality?
"The only hope of securing any concessions from Kim is to talk to him, however unpalatable that will be. If the West talks to him that will give him the status he craves. His desperate efforts to get respect are comical. His official biographers claim he finished his first round of golf at 38 under par and that he wrote a book a day as 'a student genius.'"
Kim also has a passion for movies – which Post says provides further insight into his personality. Kim likes the Bond films, but he also enjoys Daffy Duck," says Post.
Despite all this, Post reminds the world that North Korea is the most militarized state on earth. "And its soldiers are not there for internal repression. They maintain 37,000 artillery pieces trained on Seoul and its suburbs – home to some 20 million people."
Meantime, MI6 has picked up a message from the North Korean ambassador in London, Ri Yong Ho, to Pyongyang that Britain is not in any "real position to join in any sea blockade of North Korea. Britain's once powerful navy doesn't have the ships to do this. It will be up to America, Australia and Japan," wrote the ambassador.
It will make comforting reading for Kim.
