North Korea Threatens San Diego In Propaganda Video

Posted on April 15, 2013 | Comments Off

In a North Korean propaganda video the upscale San Diego neighborhood of Point Loma is mentioned by name.

Helen Haekyung Kim Korean Language & Studies Professor at San Diego State University says

“This video said that N. Korea would attack 4 areas and one of them was Point Loma in California. It’s North Korean video telling us that North Korea will launch missiles targeting at Washing D.C, Colorado Springs, Point Loma in California and Hawaii.”

The Demilitarized Zone in Panmunjom, North Korea

I dont think anyone is taking this seriously.

Sounds to me like North Korea has discovered google and typed in the words U.S. Military.

But it is nice to make the list.
