North Korea accuses US of biochemical plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un
North Korea has accused the United States of a biochemical plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un.
The recently revealed plot is said to include biochemical warfare in an attempt to kill the tyrant in the East Asian dictatorship. North Korea claims America and agents in South Korea had hatched a plan to kill the dictator with radioactive poisons which they claim were provided by the CIA.
In 2018, CIA director Mike Pompeo met Jong-un in a covert meeting in Pyongyang before he had a summit with ex-president Donald Trump. Jong-un then said: “Mr. Director, I didn’t think you’d show up. I know you’ve been trying to kill me.”
But Pompeo joked, “Mr. Chairman, I’m still trying to kill you.” But the dictator was not jesting, according to reports in The Daily Beast and proposals emerged in 2017 “to topple the Kim regime."

Doh Hee-youn, CEO of the Citizens Commission for Human Rights of Abductees and North Korean Refugees, led the work from neighbouring South Korea. He would contact plot leader Kim Seong-il, in the Siberian city of Khabarovsk in Russia.
Doh said: “For two or three years, I had conversations,” (with Kim Seong-il) whose “intent was to topple the Kim regime.” He revealed they had proposed distributing USB sticks and memory cards giving details of the coup and saying "the supreme leader" would be assassinated.
Seong-il told Doh: "In revolution there are always sacrifices. We knew it could be dangerous. Someone had to risk what we were going to do.” The plot was so advanced a small circle was ready to murder Kim Jong-un. The plan, however collapsed in disaster after North Korean state media found out.

But the video was never been reported by either South Korean or foreign media. North Korean state media did not name the dictator and called him "the supreme leader" and claimed it had "evidence that the CIA and NIS have plotted terrorism."

Kim Seong-il is shown in the video 'confessing to organising' a team who wanted to "remove" Kim Jong Un from North Korea.
He details how a biological toxin or polonium would be used. Korean Central News Agency, also claimed it managed to prevent a US-backed attempt to get rid of the North Korean leader in May 2017.

“This palpably shows the true nature of the US as the main culprit behind terrorism.”
