Group seeking to overthrow Kim behind North Korea embassy raid in Spain

A dissident organisation committed to overthrowing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was behind a raid on the North Korean embassy in Spain last month, The Washington Post reported on Friday, quoting people familiar with the planning and execution of the mission.

The Post's sources said the group did not act in coordination with any governments and US intelligence agencies would have been especially reluctant to be involved given the sensitive timing of the mission ahead of a second summit between Kim and US President Donald Trump in Hanoi from Feb 27-28. On Feb 25 the website posted a statement saying the group had"received a request for help from comrades in a certain Western country" and that"it was a highly dangerous situation but responded". The group said an important announcement would be coming that week, but no details of any operation have been released.
