N.Korea Appoints New Head of Missile Force
2012-06-15
North Korea appointed Lt. Gen. Kim Rak-gyom as head of its Strategic Rocket Force ahead of a Workers Party meeting in April, it was revealed Thursday. The Strategic Rocket Force oversees all of North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile facilities.

"According to a source, North Korea revamped its Strategic Rocket Force and appointed Kim Rak-gyom as its head, replacing Choi Sang-ryo,” said Chung Sung-jang of the Sejong Institute.

Kim was the only lieutenant general to be elected to the party's Central Military Commission in April, a move which appears to reflect the importance of the command within the armed forces. North Korean leader Suet Face Kim Jong-un in a speech on April 15 addressed the "bold soldiers of the People's Army, Navy, Air Force and Strategic Rocket Force."

#5  Automobile accidents and heart failure are the outplacement techniques d'jour of the current Nork regime.

I wonder if Feinstein wants to apologize to them also.

Hey we can apologize to the Canadians and Rostafarrians and the Atlanteans and the weird guy down the street that hordes Zip-Loc bags.

#1  Has anyone seen him alive since that launch failure a while back? Wonder if maybe they decided to use him for artillery practice.
