Sony Hack Update: "Innocent" North Korea Threatens to Destroy US White House

North Korea claims that the hand of the US Government behind Sony's movie, "The Interview", is  very evident. Hence, it has issued a threat that it will blow up many important US buildings, including the White House and the Pentagon in the "the whole U.S. mainland, that cesspool of terrorism." according to AP.

DailyMail explains how the Korean authorities published the threat through a state-run news agency, KCNA. The DPRK from North Korea has launched the "toughest counteraction". They pointed out that "nothing is a more serious miscalculation than guessing that just a single movie production company is the target of this counteraction."

Moreover, their target includes all the US citadels, as the American imperialists have earned their "bitterest grudges". According to them, the Korean army and the DPRK people are geared up to confront all war spaces, including the cyber warfare space, that could enable them to "blow up the citadels".

The state, though, denied that it was involved with the original hack, for which a group calling itself the "Guardians of Peace" has claimed credit. Though the government says that the hack was "righteous", they had no idea of its origin.

Still, the North Korean government is also convinced that directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg got instruction from the U.S. officials to include extra scenes that could insult the "dignity of North Korea".

The US President should apologise for the "reckless rumours" of the Sony hack by the Koreans, said the KCNA publication. Meanwhile, Obama said that North Korea should pay damages to Sony for killing the film, according to rt.com.

The FBI officials have linked the attack to the Korean regime, and point out that the hack's technical details show Korean hallmarks. However, Kim Jong Un's officials have called it a 'fabrication', and says that the US actions are 'gangster-like'.

They added that the movie had been conceived and produced according to the US guidelines. Such movies had hurt their sentiments and will encourage terrorism, for it would be an effective way of "propaganda against north Korea".

Even as Obama downplays Sony's cancellation of the movie as just a cyber glitch, North Korea looks at it as a "war". Sony has cancelled The Interview's December 25 release last week. Most cinema chains have pulled it out, although President Obama later said Sony made a mistake in cancelling the movie.
