Is North Korea still digging tunnels to the South?

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- Gen. Hahn Sung-Chu never believed North Korea could dig a tunnel that reached Seoul -- until now.

Standing inside a basement of an apartment block in the heart of the capital, the former two-star general in the South Korean military says, "This is a kind of invasion, North Korean soldiers working underneath us."

Hahn says residents had complained of underground vibrations, but the subway does not run beneath them.

He says dowsers detected three tunnels, 13 to 16 feet (4 to 5 meters) wide at a depth of up to 39 feet (12 meters). His team drilled two bore holes to lower a camera, but before they could, they detected two underground explosions and their drill holes were blocked. Hahn is certain that North Korean soldiers were working beneath their feet, protecting the tunnel.

Yes, but I think the East Germans have given up.

Is the US still not boming the living crud out of the North Koreans? Nope.

Drill down into them and use them as a septic tank. That’s what I’d do.

Maybe even hook in a few high pressure sewage lines

“He says dowsers detected three tunnels,...”

Yes. When I was a child, my uncle gave me a pair of witching sticks, and I successfully found the pipe that carried the sewage from their house to the main line.

I think the ROK and US military have more sophisticated ways to find tunnels.

You’d only need a few, take out Kim Jr. and his top Generals and let nature take it’s course.

Would make too much sense to use them on the southern border, especially close to San Diego and the base.
