US and South Korean elite troops prepare top secret mission to ‘wipe out Kim Jong-Un’s nukes’
Special forces will strike at the dictator's devastating weapons if the regime declares war
ELITE special forces soldiers will strike at the heart of North Korea's terrifying nuclear weapon programme if chubby dictator Kim Jong-un declares war.
The US and South Korea have carried out a drill, codenamed 'Teak Knife', preparing to take out key regime sites to cripple the Stalinist nation's war machine, it has been reported.
"The US Air Force's 353rd Special Operations Group conducted a combined striking exercise against an enemy's facilities with the South Korean Army's special forces brigade at a military base in Gunsan (274km south of Seoul)," a defence official told South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

It is believed the operation will simulate covert attacks on Kim's missile launch sites and nuclear installations.
The drill saw crack troops practise slipping past Pyongyang's defences using low-flying aircraft, it was reported.
This weekend it was reported Kim Jong-un launched a spy-hunting probe to find out why several of his Musudan-type missile launches have failed.
According to North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity (NKIS), Kim wants to find a link between espionage and the failures.
It is claimed the leader suspects that some failed launches may stem from covert actions by the CIA and South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS).
It is reported that Kim’s investigators will focus on imported missile components, including integrated circuit chips that are part of the flight control system.
As reported by NK News, Kim Heung-kwang, a North Korean defector and head of NKIS, said: "The North imports the integrated circuit chips due to the failure of 100 per cent local manufacturing.
"It’s a big problem if the US and South Korea are found to be involved in the [power] supply line of integrated circuit chips and devised a plot to cause trouble."
