North Korea dubs Madrid embassy raid a ‘terror attack’



SEOUL: North Korea has dubbed a break-in at its embassy in Spain last month as a “grave terrorist attack”, reports said.

Releasing its first official comment, Pyongyang has called for an investigation saying it was closely watching rumors that the FBI had played a role.

A group committed to ousting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the Cheollima Civil Defense, on Wednesday said, it carried out the raid.

The group said it took computers and data and gave its evidence to the FBI.

The North Korea, however, stopped short of blaming Washington directly for the raid. It has asked the Spanish authorities to conduct the investigation in a responsible manner. (Agencies)
