Cheollima Civil Defense: What is known about North Korean embassy group

A group calling itself the Cheollima Civil Defense (CCD) says it was behind a raid on a North Korean embassy in the Spanish capital of Madrid last month in which staff were reportedly shackled and beaten.

According to a Spanish High Court document, the group entered the building on 22 February armed with machetes, knives, metal bars and cable ties and left with two computers, hard drives, USB pen drives and a mobile phone - items said to have been handed to the FBI.

But the organisation, a self-styled human rights group, disputes reports that this was a violent attack, saying that "no weapons were used" and embassy staff were "treated with dignity and necessary caution".

Despite having a website and YouTube channel, the group has made almost no contact with the world's media, and it remains somewhat in the shadows.

    They put mayonnaise on their freedom fries! Savages!

    Actually, something like a half and half mixture of mayonnaise and mustard. Try it sometime. When you're feeling free, of course.

    Actually, I prefer hot sauce [bgfoodservice.com] or Sriracha [wikipedia.org] on my french fries. Although salad cream [wikipedia.org] or just plain old vinegar will do in a pinch.
