Kang said: “The CIA of the US and the intelligence service of South Korea, hotbed of evils in the world, hatched a vicious plot to hurt the supreme leadership of the DPRK.
“Those acts have been put into the extremely serious phase of implementation after crossing the threshold of the DPRK.
“Their preparations to commit state-sponsored terrorism against the supreme leadership of the DPRK by use of a chemical substance has recently been detected.”
