NUKE THEM NOW!

Protestors call for North Korea to be bombed after new atom test

- By SIMON DEAN simon@sundayspor­t.co.uk

DEMONSTRAT­ORS yesterday demanded that North Korea be “punished” for its latest A-bomb test – with a massive NUCLEAR STRIKE!

Crowds in Seoul, capital of North Korea’s southern neighbour, burned pictures of youthful dictator Kim Jong-Un and the barmy Stalinist state’s flag.

Furious protestors covered a North Korean national flag with black and red paint and wrote “Strike Immediatel­y” on two other flags. Others yelled: “Revenge” and demanded that the United States unleash nuclear weapons to destroy North Korea’s A-bomb testing range in Punggye-ri.

One onlooker, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals, said: “Why will the United States not act?

“They took out Saddam Hussein on the pretext he had ‘weapons of mass destructio­n’. Kim has proved he has these weapons – boasted about them – yet the US has not acted.

“A military response, a nuclear response, is required. It’s the only language they know.” North Korea responded to worldwide condemnati­on of yesterday’s nuclear test by saying it was a “first response” to US threats and warned of “second and third measures of greater intensity”. The United States and others called the test a violation of UN resolution­s.

Even North Korea’s only major ally, China, voiced opposition.

Violate

But the North’s Foreign Ministry said the test was a “selfdefens­ive measure” that does not violate any internatio­nal law.

President Barack Obama said nuclear test efforts “do not make North Korea more secure.”
