North Korea hasn't denied it yet, and considering the PR coup that would mean -- "look at how the West is so terrified of our dear leader that they wish him dead!" -- hard to imagine it's not true.
@14.27.While i would not wish death on anyone(apart from IRA terrorists who continue to contaminate this planet with their existence),i think the death of KJU would only improve the whole world.
There has been no attempt that I have seen from North Korea to deny the claims which suggest to me that something is wrong. Very dangerous when a dictator dies, could be a vicious struggle for power.
If it was the fault of the surgeon, he can probably forget a pay rise for a few years
Fiveleaves it won't be vicious struggle -everyone in North Korea is scare to death of the KJU dynasty. His sister is set to take over if he becomes incapacitated, and has indeed stepped in for him on a couple of occasions
