The third report on the assassination angel I have seen. The first, Chosun Ilbo of S. Korea, the second, Telegraph of Britain, and now this. Here are the previous two.

North Korean Security Believes Ryongchon Explosion an Assassination Attempt(Cellphones now banned)

Better luck next time, whoever.

North Korea train explosion meant for Kim Jong Il

I'm so shocked. Not.

[OldFriend]

I simply do not believe this story. It's probably being promulgated by Jong himself.

"The third report on the assassination angel..."

It's too bad it wasn't an assassination Angel, N Korea would be much better off if it had been successful. If someone does get him, assassination angel would be a perfect description.

We probably won't see him until the next Ground Hog Day.

OH Man Kim is scare do you remember Kim went underground after we gave Saddam his pink slip

Remember that I don't think was assination attempt was Kim left the station long time ago

Hrmm I believe I mentioned this a while back when it happened.

The news here where I live was that Kim Jong Il was dead only a few minutes after the explosion took place. A couple South Korean 'diplomats' here broke the news.

There was talk a few days earlier in the 'diplomatic community' here that operatives were shadowing him as soon as he crossed the border into China and that he was 'in the crosshairs'. China advised Western diplomats that there would be 'serious consequences' if he was so much as touched 'while in China'.

This was interpretted as a green light to hit him as soon as he crossed the border back into North Korea. In any event it was a failure.
