The foreign ministry representative also called for an investigation and said North Korea was closely watching rumors that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and an anti-North Korea group were behind the raid. However, North Korea stopped short of blaming Washington directly for the raid and asked Spanish authorities to conduct the investigation in a responsible manner. A mysterious dissident group accused of breaking into the North’s embassy in Madrid last month said on Thursday it was temporarily suspending operations. That came after a Spanish judge issued international arrest warrants for two suspects Spanish authorities say fled to the United States. KCNA said an armed group assaulted its embassy in Spain and bound, beat and tortured embassy staff and stole communication equipment.
