North Korean defector claims Kim Jong-un has brigades of fanatic suicide bombers ready to be unleashed if war breaks out
NORTH Korea has assembled a unit of suicide bombers who are currently ready to be deployed, a defector has claimed.
Joo-il Kim, a defector who lives in New Malden, south London said the brainwashed fighters who will "live and die" for Kim Jong-un even have their own "nuclear backpacks".
He said: "The top level leaders won't wage war. They know they can't win the war."
But he insisted the brainwashed soldiers could "infiltrate" neighbouring countries and unleash their suicide backpacks.
Mr Kim's warning comes hours after Chinese officials warned the risk of a war against North Korea is higher than ever before.
Professor Shi Yinhong, an international relations expert from Renmin University, advised China's government saying, "North Korea is a time bomb.
"We can only delay the explosion, hoping that by delaying it, a time will come to remove the detonator."
Today, Britain's defence minister Gavin Williamson launched his own warning, claiming the rogue state is on the way to developing ballistic missiles that could soon strike London.
"North Korea is a massive threat. They are a real danger to this country.
"They are currently on the pathway to have ballistic missiles that could strike London."
While warnings of a potential North Korean war increase, US Army units have said to be training in tunnel networks, in case Donald Trump ordered a land invasion of the state.
The country's bombs, including their nuclear arsenal and cache of biological weapons, are also likely to be held in tunnels, according to a report in Popular Mechanics.
