Big news if true. Transition periods for any country especially military dictatorships are never peaceful. Lets hope this doesn't destabilize the peninsula. Too many guns pointed at each other.

This is going to put North Korea on the brink, if true.
Even if elements of the North Korean government were behind it, North Korea is going to blame South Korea/Japan/USA.

One thing we should note is that they start with "according to reliable source", which according to the article, basically is equivilent of saying "Eklund:" on hockey rumours...so extremely likely to be false.

Yes, totally confused until a few read-overs of the first 5 or so posts. People with serious replies made the thought process even more painful for a few seconds. . . .

Markets are little changed since this thread started, I'd wager if it was accurate we'd have seen some sort of blip somewhere.

A few sites are reporting the rumour but they all appear very careful to let everyone know that it is an unsubstantiated rumour.

Nothing in the main media as everyone is picking up on the Twitter story.
If it is true, the only option for dynastic succession is based about the older half brother Kim Jong Nam, who killed his chances at the leadership spot when he was busted trying to get into Japan. Its clear that there is no love lost for his brother who he never met
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/01/17/wo...on/?hpt=hp_mid
Kim Jong-Chul is not a serious consideration for leadership and is a low level leader in the Workers party. His father believes that he was too feminine to be a successor (Gay)
Kim Sul-Song is Jong-Ils daughter and is involved in security arrangements for her late father and is now in the Propaganda division of the government.
REcent picture of her in the back

If true, it could be extremely bad news, or extremely good news. If Lil Kim wasn't willing to make reforms, perhaps it was someone that was sick of eating oatmel for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day that initiated the killing.

If its true that was really fast. Wonder what it will do to one of my favorite twitter accounts (@KimJongNumberUn). Not always funny, but sometimes hilarious.

I don't know if its good or bad news. The government as a whole is filled with hardliners, and the two factions The military and the Intelligence apparatus are more concerned with controlling the civillian population then reforming a system that benefits the leaders greatly.
While Jong-Nam is considered to be the least hardline of the children, anyone who steps into that leaders spot will be controlled by either Il's inlaws and family members or controlled by whichever faction has more power.
The only way that reform happens is if the government collapses completely, and China really won't let that happen.
An assasination right now is irrelevant.

Well, one of the rumours is:
Quote:
|
One person on Weibo wrote (poor translation), "confirmed reports, the top leaders in # Korea # # jinzhengen was assassinated # . Reportedly occurred at 2:45 on the 10th, gold and three fat was assassinated in their own villa, the Korean Embassy in Beijing has brought together more than 30 cars, the scale of more than Kim Jong-il's death the situation.”
|
So, that would mean more than just Kim Jong-Un were assassinated. Gold and Three Fat, too! Of course, it is just the Chinese Twitter, so who knows. And Three Fat might be Kim Jong-Un.

If there was a hit, it could only have been the NK's themselves (realistically), so, presumably, this means that there is a fierce power struggle on behind the scenes...
