North Korea orders preparation for war with US

North Korea has ordered its people to be ready for a protracted war against the United States, issuing guidelines on evacuating to underground bunkers with weapons, food and portraits of leader Kim Jong Il.

The 33-page Detailed Wartime Guidelines published in South Korea’s Kyunghyang newspaper today and verified by Seoul, was issued last April, at a time when the communist regime was claiming that it was Washington’s next target following the Iraq war.
