RAID on North Korea's Embassy in Madrid : the CIA, the exiled North Koreans, or a third force?

It was a brutal and puzzling attack, which has now become a piece puzzling: On 22. In February, a few days before in Hanoi, the summit talks began between the United States and North Korea, had invaded an unknown group in the North Korean Embassy in Madrid. Probably the ten invaders were extremely violent, handcuffed and hit eight North Korean Embassy personnel and took away computers and mobile phones.

A woman was able to escape and flee to the neighbors. When the alarm arrived retired police officer, assured them of an Asian-looking man that everything was in order. Shortly thereafter, the intruders with computers, Smartphones and documents fled in two cars. The newspaper "El Pais" reported that the Spanish police can get to the US secret service CIA with the Robbery. Now, however, unknown sources have told the Washington Post that a previously unknown opposition group of exiled North Koreans named "Cheollima Civil Defense" behind the attack.

A Twitter Account called "Cheollima Civil Defense" announced the article in the "Washington Post" about the "group in the shadows" and commented: "We step out of the shadows." On your amateurish together-made website motives and objectives of the group are to be found: "Down with the rule of the Kim family! We stand up for our people! Long the Free Joseon!“ The group published a Video in which a man destroyed, allegedly, in North Korea, images of Kim Jong – Il and Kim Il Sung in North Korea unthinkable sacrilege that can end up in a labour camp.

The group calls on at the same time, journalists, to keep their identity a secret, because they might otherwise fall to the North Korean secret service to the victims. "Some of us are already attacks on our lives and the lives of our families to escape," it says, others have not been so lucky. That sounds like a group of North Koreans in exile. Or also for something else.
