The New York Post reports on a New York Times report:

A group of Navy SEALs secretly entered North Korea in early 2019 to plant a device to intercept the communications of dictator Kim Jong Un — but ended up firing on unarmed civilians diving for shellfish, puncturing their lungs to conceal their bodies and aborting the mission, according to a report.

The top-secret mission, reportedly authorized by President Trump during his first term, was carried out by SEAL Team 6’s Red Squadron.

Apparently this is the same unit who allegedly killed CIA asset Osama Bin Laden after he was located living in a specially built compound near a Pakistani military academy and in a suburb populated by retired military officers. Go figure.

The moral of the story is: Don't go fishing off North Korea.
