Nork paranoia on parade

AP vai Washington Post:

North Korea has cut most of its international phone lines since late March over concerns that sensitive information about its society will flow out of the isolated country, South Korea's spy agency reportedly said Tuesday.

Spy agency officials told a closed-door session of the National Assembly's Intelligence Committee that international phone connections had been cut at most of the North's trading companies and at government agencies since late March, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

Since April, even people with permits to make international calls have been able to do so only under the strict surveillance of security officials, the report said.

So who called in this story to the AP office in Seoul?

Strategy Page several weeks ago indicated that the Norks were having trouble controlling cell phones on their border with China. South Korea could also have some fun by building cell phone towers right next to the border.
