It is alleged that, last November, during a shooting incident by a son of Jang Sung-taek, who is Kim Jong-il's brother-in-law, Kim knocked unconscious.
A source who used to be in N. Korean intelligence said on Feb. 14 that this story is making a round among high-level N. Korean security officials. According to this intelligence, between the night of Nov. 28 and the early morning of Nov. 29, there was a family gathering including Kim Jong-il, his second son Kim Jong-chol, Jang Sung-taek's son(Jang is Kim's brother-in-law), during which shots were fired, and fights erupted. In the midst of this chaos, Kim Jong-il also knocked unconscious.
The source said that Jang's son fired at Kim Jong-il, and Kim Jong-chol took him on physically. In the process, Kim Jong-il was either grazed (by a bullet) or shocked at the shooting, which led to his loss of consciousness, it is suspected. This story must have come from agents guarding him at the time.
Jang's son was sacked when his father, who was the First Vice Director of Organization Guidance Dept. of Worker's Party, was purged last spring. However, somehow he was attending the family gathering last November. He was a high ranking official at Party's Central Committee before his sacking. After that, he was said to be a high-level official at Party Committee of N. Hamgyong Province. However, some believes that he was actually a high ranking officer at the Bureau of Guards.
Kim Jong-il's sister, Kim Kyong-hee(Jang's wife), petitioned Kim Jong-il twice for leniency ( for her husband) after Jang was purged. However, both petitions were turned down. She has been in seclusion since. Until early last year, experts (on N. Korea) regarded Jang as the prime candidate to succeed Kim Jong-il after his death.

What? It is indeed a surprise.
Providing they aren't all feeding off each other. I have to wonder how the purported shooter got a gun into KJI's presence, given his well-known paranoia.
Funny!
They are all Wankers to me.
Kim's regime is going down. While this Jang probably wants to take the "throne" I don't think he will. If Kim is actually toppled methinks that that will be a catalyst to the eventual fall of the Communist regime (with a little help from China or the US, perhaps??)
There all a bunch of Wangs as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you, interesting report.
sounds like too much inbreeding going on up North
Many top elites are drawn from relatives of Kim's. Blood connection is supposed to ensure loyalty. However, in light of incidents like this, it is obvious that it has its limits as well. Too bad for Kim Jong-il.:)
Kim Jong-Il must have used his ability to see the matrix, and slowed down time to the extent that he was able to dodge the bullet. The he used his master level martial arts skills to personally subdue his brother in-law, followed by the Vulcan Nerve Pinch, to knock him unconscious so he could be taken for interrogation. Which will be personally performed by Il.
Sometimes you should be beaten.
The beatings will continue until morale improves :-)
Apparently, Kim exacted revenge by forcing Jang's cousin, Hoo Flung Poo, to clean every palace toilet with his toothbrush.
Stand by for some purges. 24,000 officers could be executed bgy his divine madness for this.
dirka dirka....
and yes he is very ronery....
I think Poo was on the scene but it was the bodyguard of Kim, the one left in his Il will, Sum Yung Ho, who discovered his confident Miso Ronry Jo was really a consort with western intelligence.
You think YOU'RE bad? I've memorized the WORDS to that song...
don't forget the Shi-Polly-Mau's.....:)
It was said they were taking down all the portraits and pictures of the nutcase.
One wonders if he is still kickin.
