HONG KONG, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- North Korea's Kim Jong Il has built a military command center in a hollowed-out mountain beneath a palace near the Chinese border, military analysts say.
Andrei Chang of the Kanwa Information Center's Hong Kong bureau says the command center is able to store helicopters and fighter jets that can take off from a nearby airfield, The (London) Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
Chang authored the report on the facility where Kim is expected to flee if his country is invaded or the victim of civil unrest.
"We believe this would be the last place that the present regime would retreat to and try to conduct a campaign such as we are presently seeing in Afghanistan," Chang said.
He said construction of the facility shows the regime is fearful, mainly of a joint military invasion by forces from the United States and South Korea.
