By John Hudson John Hudson National security reporter focusing on the State Department and diplomacy. Email Bio Follow March 26 at 6:55 PM A revolutionary group that infiltrated North Korea’s Embassy in Madrid last month, tied up staff and escaped with computers and other items claimed responsibility for the brazen raid Tuesday in a statement on its website.
The group’s claim of responsibility came after a judge in Spain lifted a secrecy order in the case Tuesday and accused an American, a Mexican and a South Korean of participating in the mysterious incident as a part of a 10-member group.The judge, Jose de la Mata, said evidence of various crimes had been found, including trespassing, threats, illegal detentions and burglary committed by a “criminal organization.
When asked about a potential extradition of the assailants, Justice Department spokeswoman Nicole Navas Oxman said the department “does not publicly comment on correspondence with foreign governments on extradition matters.” State Department spokesman Robert J. Palladino said Tuesday that the U.S. government “had nothing to do with” the embassy incident.
“The regime’s embassies and offices are hubs of illicit narcotics and arms trafficking, mediums for the furtherance of propaganda of a totalitarian regime that systematically commit crimes against humanity against its own without current parallel,” the statement said.
If it hurts N Korea it will anger Trump.
