Shadowy anti-Kim Jong-un group planning 'major event'


The mysterious group claiming to be behind the raid on the North Korean Embassy in Spain says it's planning a 'major event.' It made the announcement shortly after North Korea demanded an investigation into the raid, calling it a terrorist attack.

Bruce Harrison reports from Seoul.

Another cryptic message.

This time Cheollima Civil Defense saying it's preparing for a major event.

And until then, it says, it will remain silent.

The organization says it's goal is regime change in North Korea.

But it's unclear beyond the embassy raid how it plans on bringing down Kim Jong-un.

On Sunday, the North Korean government called the group a 'small-fry' organization.

Still, it described the break-in as a 'grave terrorist attack' and said members of Cheollima beat embassy staff.

The anti-Kim group, however, claims the raid was non-violent.
