North Korea threatens to "blow up" the White House over Sony film
Sony’s new movie, The Interview, continues to be the source of international controversy.
In an angry post published by the state news agency KCNA, Korean authorities have threatened more attacks against the U.S. government and other American institutions in the wake of the hack. At one point, they even go as far as to say they will “blow up” the White House.
A report on KCNA reads:
The DPRK has already launched the toughest counteraction. Nothing is more serious miscalculation than guessing that just a single movie production company is the target of this counteraction. Our target is all the citadels of the U.S. imperialists who earned the bitterest grudge of all Koreans.
Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon and the whole U.S. mainland, the cesspool of terrorism.
The FBI holds North Korea responsible for tampering with the Sony’s computer systems — an accusation they vehemently deny while accusing President Obama of calling for “symmetric counteraction.” They also released a statement which read, “The DPRK has clear evidence that the U.S. administration was deeply involved in the making of such dishonest reactionary movie.”
In the midst of this war of words, Sony has cancelled the film because theater chains and other streaming sites refused to show it. The studio also revealed today that their new plan is to release the comedy for free on Crackle, the streaming service it owns.
