Report: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered a terrorist attack on South Koreans. 

A source in Beijing with access to inside information in North Korea told KBS that Kim vented his anger as the State Security Department reported about the group defections of North Korean restaurant workers in China in April.

The source said Kim ordered the state security department and the Reconnaissance General Bureau(RGB) to strike "worth a thousand retaliations" as payback.

The source said North Korean agencies set up plans to commit terrorist attacks on South Koreans and dispatched secret agents to China and Southeast Asian countries to carry them out.

North Korean RGB agents are said to be conspiring with criminal organizations in third countries to launch the attacks. 

The source said that the State Security Department is seeking to kidnap South Korean citizens and swap them with the defected North Korean restaurant employees, who are now under South Korean state custody. 

Sources said that the alleged murder of a Korean-Chinese pastor, who was well-known for helping North Korean defectors, is believed to have been carried out by the North Korean state security department agents.

A total of 13 North Korean defectors, including 12 female workers and one male manager, arrived in South Korea some two months ago after escaping their workplace in China. 

Seoul says they came of their own free will while Pyongyang maintains they were abducted.
