Biological Weapons Program
North Korea continues to have the scientists and facilities for =
producing biological products and microorganisms. The North has the =
ability to produce traditional infectious biological warfare agents or =
toxins and biological weapons. Acting on orders of Kim Il-sung, in =
November 1980 North Korea accelerated the development of biological =
weapons, organizing research institutions and plants with specialists =
from other countries. North Korea has been pursuing research and =
development related to biological warfare since the 1960s. =
Pyongyang=E2=80=99s resources presently include a rudimentary (by =
Western standards) biotechnology infrastructure that is sufficient to =
support the production of limited quantities of toxins, as well as viral =
and bacterial biological warfare agents. In the early 1990s, an open =
press release by a foreign government referred to applied military =
biotechnology work at numerous North Korean medical institutes and =
universities dealing with pathogens such as anthrax, cholera, and =
plague. North Korea possesses a sufficient munitions-production =
infrastructure to accomplish weaponization of BW agents. North Korea =
acceded to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) in 1987. Biological =
warfare has not received the same attention as chemical or nuclear =
warfare. This could be because North Korea lacks the technical expertise =
or because the difficulty in controlling biological warfare makes it a =
less desirable option. North Korea realizes that biological weapons are =
as dangerous to its own forces as they are to South Korean or US forces, =
and the North's limited medical services would make the agents more =
lethal. Therefore, using biological agents is not a likely option. =
However, if North Korea did choose to employ biological weapons, it =
probably could use agents like anthrax, plague, or yellow fever against =
water and food supplies in the South's rear area.=20
The work done at the National Defense Research Institute and Medical =
Academy (NDRIMA) included studies of disease pathogens such as anthrax, =
cholera, bubonic plague, smallpox, yellow fever and others. Since early =
1990s, North Korea and Cuba have maintained a secret, but constant =
exchange of scientists and technology.
COMMAND AND CONTROL
=20
The current emphasis in the modernization program is on upgrading =
communications supporting the Najin-Sonbong Free Trade Zone in northeast =
North Korea. A large communications center at Najin will be the focal =
point; it will be equipped with digital switching and other modern =
equipment and will offer modern communication services to businesses =
operating in the zone. Vastly improved communications between the Free =
Trade Zone and other countries will include fiber-optic cable and a =
digital microwave relay link between Pyongyang, Najin, and Vladivostok, =
with a shorter link between Najin and Hunchun, China. Additional plans =
for the Free Trade Zone include construction of a satellite earth =
station, as well as communication center branches, in the zone.=20
=20
North Korean military personnel have been receiving training at the =
Bejucal electronic base in Cuba, since 1999.

=20
The fall of communism has not reduced the level or amount of espionage =
and other serious intelligence activity conducted against the United =
States. The targets have not changed at all: there is still a deadly =
serious foreign interest, and mainly from the new China/Cuba consortium, =
in traditional intelligence activities such as penetrating the U.S. =
intelligence community, collecting classified information on U.S. =
military defense systems, and purloining the latest advances in the =
nation=E2=80=99s science and technology sector.
=20
There is also a growing importance in maintaining the integrity of the =
country=E2=80=99s information infrastructure. Our growing dependence on =
computer networks and telecommunications has made the U.S. increasingly =
vulnerable to possible cyber attacks against such targets as military =
war rooms, power plants, telephone networks, air traffic control centers =
and banks. China and Cuba have increased their cooperation in this area =
through the Bejucal base in Cuba, as well as in Wajay (near Bejucal), =
and Santiago de Cuba. On these bases they use technologically =
sophisticated equipment, as well as new intelligence methodologies that =
makes it more difficult, or impossible for U.S. intelligence agencies to =
monitor or detect.
=20
The international terrorism threat can be divided into three general =
categories. Each poses a serious and distinct threat, and each has a =
presence already in the United States. The most important category is =
the state sponsored threat. This category, according to the FBI, =
includes the following countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, =
North Korea. Put simply, these nations view terrorism as a tool of =
foreign policy.=20
=20
There are three main areas of concern for us in the new and dangerous =
axis formed by China and Cuba: radio frequency weapons, computer =
technology, missile capabilities. The problem with the Chinese Cuban =
rapprochement is that it is driven by mutual hostility towards the =
United States.
=20
Radio frequency weapons are a new radical class of weapons. Radio =
frequency weapons can utilize either high energy radio frequency (HERF), =
or low energy radio frequency (LERF) technology. HERF is advanced =
technology. It is based on concentrating large amounts of RF EM energy =
in within a small space, narrow frequency range, and a very short period =
of time. The result is an overpowering RF EM impulse capable of causing =
substantial damage to electronic components.=20
=20
LERF utilizes relatively low energy, which is spread over a wide =
frequency spectrum. It can be no less effective in disrupting normal =
functioning of computers as HERF due to the wider range of frequencies =
it occupies. LERF does not require time compression neither high tech =
components. LERF impact on computers and computer networks could be =
devastating. The computer would go into a random output mode, that is, =
it is impossible to predict what the computer would do. A back up =
computer will not solve the problem either. One example of LERF use was =
the KGB=E2=80=99s manipulation of the United States Embassy security =
system in Moscow in the late 80s.
=20
Worldwide proliferation in RF weapons has increased dramatically in the =
last five years. The collapse of the Soviet Union is probably the most =
significant factor contributing to this increase in attention and =
concern about proliferation. The KGB has split into independent parts. =
One of them is referred to as FAPSI. It has been partially privatized. =
Spin-off companies have been created, with very attractive golden =
parachutes for the high officers. FAPSI, or its spin-off companies have =
been heavily involved in China and Cuba in RF technology, as well as =
computer technology.
=20
China, PRC, has stolen design information on the United States most =
advanced thermonuclear weapons. The stolen information includes =
classified information on:
=20
=C2=B7 Seven U.S. thermonuclear warheads, including every =
currently deployed thermonuclear warhead in the U.S. ballistic missile =
arsenal
=C2=B7 Classified design information for an enhanced radiation =
weapon (neutron bomb), which neither the USA , nor any other country has =
yet deployed
=C2=B7 Classified information on state of the art reentry =
vehicles, and warheads, such as the W-88, a miniaturized, tapered =
warhead, which is the most sophisticated nuclear weapon the United =
States has ever built.
=20
These and other classified information have been obtained in the last 20 =
years. However, the now presence in Cuba, with the use of the Bejucal =
base, and the proximity to the United States, makes the China/Cuba new =
axis a very serious threat to this nation. In 1993, a Cuban nuclear =
engineer, and high officer of the Cuban Intelligence military apparatus, =
was awarded a one year stance at Sandia National Labs, Albuquerque, =
doing research on Physical protection of nuclear facilities and =
materials. The officer is, since 1999, in exile in the United States.
=20
The PRC has acquired also technology on high performance computers =
(HPC). HPCs are needed for the design and testing of advanced nuclear =
weapons. The PRC has targeted the U.S. nuclear test data for espionage =
collection. This can be accomplished through the facilities in Cuba.=20
=20
=20
LARGE SCALE QUANTUM COMPUTING
=20
=20
=20
These kind of computers could, among other functions, crack the toughest =
codes. Computers that harness the weirdness of quantum mechanics could =
smash conventional encryption systems by factoring gigantic numbers =
fast-and factoring the product of two large prime numbers is the only =
way standard codes can be broken.
=20
The job would take conventional computers decades, not minutes. This =
ability to perform a single calculation on two numbers at once is what =
makes quantum computing so valuable, especially in factoring for =
decryption. Instead of factoring by trying out lots of answers one after =
another, as a conventional computer would, a quantum computer can, =
essentially, try all at the same time.
=20
China and Cuba have joined forces, at the Bejucal electronic base, to =
work on the development of such computers. Only MIT, the University of =
Michigan, and the University of Innsbruck, Austria, are known to be =
working in this new and important field.=20

Dr. Miyar Barruecos, El Chomi. Dr. Luis Herrera. Cuba and Iran.
=20
Since 1990, Cuba and Iran have cooperated in the development of weapons =
of massive destruction. Dr. Miyar Barruecos, physician, very close to =
Castro, has been the force behind the throne in this alliance. Dr. Luis =
Herrera, from the CIGB, and one of the main scientists in the =
development of the CIGB and the biological weapon programs in Cuba, has =
been the operator, the facilitator, in the massive and huge cooperation =
between Cuba and Iran.
=20
Cuba just finished, May 2001, the construction of a Biotechnology Center =
in Teheran. Cuba served as the source of technology, selling of =
equipment, and project management for the Center.=20
=20
Iran has bought the best fruits of the CIGB, recombinant protein =
production technologies in yeast and Escherichia coli, as well as the =
large scale purification protocols for both soluble and insoluble =
proteins synthesized in or excreted by them.
=20
Iran can use these technologies to create bioweapons of massive =
destruction. Iran, with Cuba=E2=80=99s assistance is capable of =
producing a bacteria known as Pseudomonas. The pathogen is not usually =
lethal to humans, but it is an excellent battlefield weapon.=20
=20
Sprayed from a single airplane flying over enemy lines, it can =
immobilized an entire division or incapacitate special forces hiding in =
rugged terrain otherwise inaccessible to regular army troops-precisely =
the kind of terrain in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and similar terrorist =
regions.
=20
Besides Cuban scientists, at least there are about ten scientists from =
the Biopreparat Russian Center working in Iran. The New York Times =
reported in December 1998 that the Iranian government dispatched a few =
scientific advisors attached to the office of the presidency in Moscow =
to recruit former scientists from the Russian program.
=20
In May, 1997, more than one hundred scientists from Russian =
laboratories, including Vector and Obolensk, attended a Biotechnology =
Trade Fair in Teheran. Iranians visited Vector, In Russia, a number of =
times, and had been actively promoting exchanges. A vial of =
freeze-dried powder takes up less space than a pack of cigarettes and is =
easy to smuggle past an inattentive security guard.
=20
The Soviet Union spent decades building institutes and training centers =
in Iran and Cuba. For many years, the Soviet Union organized courses in =
genetic engineering and molecular biology for scientists from Cuba and =
Iran. Some forty scientists from both countries were trained annually.=20
=20
In 1997 Russia was reported to be negotiating a lucrative deal with Iran =
and Cuba for the sale of cultivation equipment including fermenters, =
reactors, and air purifying machinery.=20
=20
A report submitted by the U.S. Office of Technological Assessment to =
hearings at the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations in late =
1995 identified 17 countries believed to possess biological weapons. =
Among them: Cuba and Iran.
=20
The Cuba/Iran alliance posses a real threat to the national security of =
the United States.

CUBA
=20
Although Cuba signed and ratified all 12 international counter terrorism =
conventions in 2001, it has remained opposed to the US-led Coalition =
prosecuting the war in global terrorism and has been actively critical =
of many associated US policies and actions.=20
=20
On repeated occasions, for example, Cuba sent agents to US missions =
around the world who provided false leads designed to subvert the post =
September 11 investigation.=20
=20
In 2002, Cuba continued to host several terrorists and US fugitives. =
Cuba permitted up to 20 Basque Fatherland and Liberty members to reside =
in Cuba and provided safe heaven and support to members of the Colombian =
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-FARC- and National Liberation =
Army-ELN groups.=20
=20
An accused Irish Republican Army-IRA- weapons expert and longtime =
resident of Cuba went on trial in Colombia in 2002. He had been caught a =
year earlier in Colombia with two other IRA members and detained for =
training the FARC in advanced use of explosives. Some US fugitives =
continued to live on the island.
=20
Castro allowed the Soviet Union in 1962 to install atomic warhead =
missiles in Cuba. Once discovered, he tried to force the Soviet Union to =
launch a surprising missile attack against the United States.=20
=20
Castro has been 44 years in power in Cuba. A tyrant, an oppressor, who =
has imprisoned over 150,000 persons and executed above 16,000.

biology, celular immunology. CIM has laboratories equipped for cell =
culture, immunochemistry, and radiochemistry. Their work on the immune =
system is related to the development of stronger strains of virus an =
bacteria. The Center has the capacity to produce bio-weapons
=20
CONCLUSIONS
=20
=C2=B7 Cuba's biotechnological capacity places it in group four =
of the World
Health Organization's five categories. To reach group five, which is =
formed only by the eight top industrial economies, Cuba must =
produce at least 20% of the 260 basic materials. It regularly produces =
18% of these and certainly has the scientific ability to produce the =
others with
biotech methods.
=20
=20
=C2=B7 Cuba also has 160 distinct research and development units =
and over 10,000 researchers through out the country
=20
=20
=C2=B7 According to Cuba=E2=80=99s own figures, as well as those =
provided by scientists and engineers, both from Cuba and other =
countries, the Cuban government has spent approximately $3,500 million =
dollars in this industry since 1986. The return of such investment has =
been approximately the sales of $200 million dollars in vaccines and =
medicines. The production for domestic use has been almost nothing, =
since the Cuban people lack the most basic medicines.

millions. Built by the Russians from 1994 to 1997. Workforce: 1,100 =
engineers, computer scientists, technicians, staff. Three groups of =
antennas/satellites. First group to listen to general USA =
telecommunications. Second group to listen to pre designated phones and =
computers. Third group with the voice recognition capacity. It has 2 =
HPCs given by PRC. Operated now with the cooperation of PRC=E2=80=99s =
military personnel. Utilizes PRC=E2=80=99s satellites. It can interfere =
USA computer networks
=20

Capacity to interfere radio telecommunications in USA, mainly in =
airports and strategic places.
=20
III. COJIMAR ELECTRONIC COMPLEX
=20
Located in La Habana del Este. Cost: $20 millions. Work on electronic =
experiments, such as HERF.
=20
IV. WAJAY ELECTRONIC BASE

east of Cuba. Cost: $10 millions. 80 very high antennas
=20
=20
=20
CONCLUSIONS
=20
Cuba has high technology capacity and facilities to conduct SIGINT =
operations on the United States, as well as to interfere with =
telecommunications and computer networks in the United States
=20
