             North Korea began producing chemical weapons in the 1980s and currently holds a stockpile
           of an estimated 2,500 –5,000T of chemical weapons. Sources indicate that North Korea is capable

           of cultivating and producing various types of biological agents, such as anthrax, smallpox, and
           pests.
