The Koreans for United Freedom, also known as the K.U.F., was a North Korean paramilitary terrorist group that sought to forcefully unify the Korean Peninsula in favor of North Korea and force the United States of America to end its support for South Korea after the U.S. tried to assist with the growing conflict between the North and the South sides of Korea, which they considered unreasonable.
History[]
The K.U.F. was formed by Kang Yeonsak in 2002 after funneling uranium enrichment technology from Pakistan to Pyongyang. How it managed to enter the shores of the United States is unbeknownst and whether the militia that made up the legions of terrorists were former soldiers of the North, mercenaries, or a mixture of both is debatable.
The group's goal was to unify the Korean Peninsula by capturing the White House and coercing American government officials to withdraw the U.S Navy's Seventh Fleet from the Sea of Japan and 28,500 U.S. soldiers that were defending South Korea from the DMZ which would lead to a North Korean invasion of South Korea. The group also secretly intended to use Cerberus, a highly classified fail safe protocol, to detonate the entire American nuclear arsenal in their silos, which would destroy North America and drastically weaken military support for South Korea.
They disguised themselves as tourists and garbage workers to initiate the White House Siege. It also managed to blend into the South Korean government delegation, with many K.U.F. members disguised as members of the South Korean security detail. After taking over the White House on July 5th and taking President Benjamin Asher and several high-ranking U.S. officials hostage, they were nearly able to allow a North Korean invasion of South Korea. However, they goals were hindered and they suffered major setbacks by Mike Banning. At the end of the White House Siege, the group was rendered defunct after Kang and all members were killed.
