North Korea's Kim Jong-un 'Was Target Of Assassination Attempt' -- The Telegraph
Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, was the target of an assassination attempt linked to a power struggle within one of the nation's military bureaus, according to reports.
South Korean intelligence sources were quoted as saying that "disgruntled people inside the North" moved ahead of the demotion of Kim Yong-chol, director of the Reconnaissance General Bureau, in November.
Authorities were paying special attention because the attempt was made in downtown Pyongyang, not during one of Kim's regional trips outside the capital city, the intelligence officer told the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper on Thursday.
The precise timing of the attack has not been accurately established, although there were rumours of a skirmish involving an exchange of gunfire in Pyongyang in November of last year.
