N. Korean military exposed in document leak

WASHINGTON - A confidential military manual has leaked out of North Korea for the first time, and it's exposing the inner-workings of one of the world's most dangerous rogue regimes.

According to South Korean media outlet Chosun Ilbo, the manual contains instructions on how to make and apply stealth paint that absorbs radar waves so that North Korean military assets can avoid detection during operations.

The 80-page handbook, printed in 2005, was recently smuggled out of the country and acquired by a religious organization.

It instructs infantry to move at one kilometer per hour or slower, and keep a distance of five meters between each other while moving in order to deceive South Korean ground-based radar in frontline areas.

The manual also says North Korea has created fake entrances that are 500 to 1,000 feet away from the actual entrances of its artillery positions.

The North has apparently set up various kinds of fake facilities, including command posts, foxholes, runways and fighter jet and naval bases.
