A former U.S. Marine who took part in a raid on the North Korean Embassy in Madrid in 2019 has spoken out about the incident in a rare interview with mainstream media, making the case to the American public that he could be assassinated if extradited to Spain to face changes.

In the interview with CBS for the news program “60 Minutes,” Christopher Ahn recounted details about the raid, maintaining that it was a “staged” kidnapping to help embassy staff defect, and about a separate operation to rescue Kim Jong Un’s half-nephew.
