N Korea warns of indiscriminate N-strikes on US, South Korea

North Korea threatens `indiscriminate' nuclear strikes on the US and South Korea, as the latter two allies begin their largest-ever military exercises. The US-Seoul exercises, Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, are yearly events and have always generated tension in North Korea. Every year, it makes threatening gestures. So far Pyongyang had not jumped the gun. But there's no saying what the Kim Il's regime would do. Pyongyang made the order for a "pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice" in a statement put out by its foreign ministry. Rhetoric apart, experts doubt North Korea's ability to put nuclear warheads on its missiles. Pyongyang always says it sees the annual US-South Korean war exercises as rehearsals for invasion. Last year, it had threatened to turn Washington into a "sea of fire". Pyongyang said it would launch an all-out offensive to counter the US and its follower's (Seoul's) `hysterical nuclear war moves."
