PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea's military says it will launch "special actions" soon meant to wipe out conservative South Korean President Lee Myung-bak's administration.

The army statement carried by state media Monday said the actions will last 3 to 4 minutes and be carried out "by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style." It gave no more details.

North Korea has issued a steady stream of harsh criticism against Lee and his government. Pyongyang says Lee insulted the North’s recent celebrations of the birth centennial of national founder Kim Il Sung.
