From Reuters: 'Others are reporting that Jong-un, believed to be 28 years old, may be on the run rather than dead, but both reports claim that some kind of coup is taking place.'

"north korea's biggest leader kim jung un, this morning in beijing time 2:45 am, had his residence broken into and was assassinated by unidentified people, who were shot dead by his bodyguards in korea's embassy in beijing, vehicles are rapidly increasing in number, and have surpassed 30 of them, this sort of battle formation hasn't been seen in over two years. please verify this."

'The rumors remain unsubstantiated. However, the reports are beginning to attract a great deal of attention, especially now that a couple of American news outlets including the Atlantic Wire have reported on them.

Weibo is in many ways the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, and disseminates news at a rapid pace. People were tipped off that there was something happening that involved Jong-Un, who succeeded his late father Kim Jong-Il, because of the mass of cars parked outside of his resident.'

Saw that this morning... hmmm.... could become a big mess.

The rumour itself is pretty shoddy in terms of content.

If this is true, it means regime change, most likely a power grab by the military. IF any of this is true of course.

Also, I would be very reluctant to take any twitter-like rumours at face value.....


Time will tell.

I don't see why a group or individual would wait for a transition in symbolic leadership to attack. Just a bunch of wishful posters. I think we are being attacked by the "occupied movement" farce going on.

First, if this could have happened when Kim Jeong Il was still around, it would have. Second, this is the new way to get other countries to do stuff. Spread rumors and allegations, hope people on the inside do what you want.

Intellectuals with inflated egos like to do this. Feeds their superiority complex.

I've seen nothing on this in South Korean media, though it might get a negligible mention.

Apparently all those vehicles showed up for a birthday reception, not an assassination.
