The Official IRA’s chaotic ‘training’ trip to North Korea


Listen Later

Back in 1988, six members of the Official IRA made their way to North Korea to receive ‘state of the art’ training. Dressed in the uniform of the Korean People's Army, they were taught North Korean style fighting and given lectures about the great leader Kim Il Sung and the wonders of one-party rule.B ut after a drunken brawl, the trip ended in embarrassment as the group had to leave the country. The BelTel’s Olivia Peden is joined by journalist John Sweeney, author of ‘North Korea: Inside the world’s most secretive state’ - he visited the strange nation as part of a BBC panorama documentary.
