AHC (And WI): North Korea gets hit by 9/11

Well North Korea's reaction is this:

Pyongyang, September 12 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry today answered the question put by KCNA as regards the large-scale terrorist attacks on the United States. He said:
Terrorists' large-scale attacks made on the U.S. by blowing themselves up in planes on Tuesday have caught the international community by great surprise.
The very regretful and tragic incident reminds it once again of the gravity of terrorism.
As a UN member the DPRK is opposed to all forms of terrorism and whatever support to it and this stance will remain unchanged.
The DPRK approaches the incident from this point of view.

So my possible choice for the attack is the Ryugyong Hotel
 
You never said they had to be Muslim terrorists right?

Maybe if N.K is more unstable and in danger of collapsing, S.K has a more extensive intelligence network in N.K and creates underground groups of fervent nationalists.

Get a pilot to join one of these extremist groups and he can fly his jet or cargo plane into a building. Probably where Kim Jong-Il is staying at that moment.

America and other Pro-democracy countries cheer wildly as the estimated death toll goes up. China, Russia denounces the 'attacks' while N.K starts a crackdown on everyone.
 
The North Koreans would probably shoot down any commercial airliners in their air space, terrorist or not.
 
As above, they'd just shoot the flight down. I can't even begin to imagine why they would attack North Korea, and even if they did, what can the North Koreans do? Bitch and moan? Definitely. Send troops over seas? Unlikely that anyone is going to want a North Korean brigade in Afghanistan and it seems the moment North Koreans actually see that the world isn't a crumbling wasteland, they defect. No doubt the North Korean government knows this and it is unlikely they will be willing to risk overseas deployment lest the soldiers be corrupted by the West (Or even the East). At most, they'll pretend the attack was by the South Koreans or the Americans for propaganda purposes in North Korea, but they will do nothing, because they CAN'T do anything.
