China thwarts another attempted assassination by North Korea

UPI:

North Korean agents who attempted to assassinate Kim Han Sol were arrested in Beijing, according to a South Korean newspaper.

The JoongAng Daily reported Monday Chinese authorities have detained a group of North Koreans connected to a plot to kill Kim following the assassination of Kim's father, Kim Jong Nam, at an airport in Malaysia.

A source familiar with the matter told the JoongAng the members of "the North's reconnaissance squad had infiltrated [China] with the aim of eliminating Kim Han Sol, but some of them were arrested last week by Chinese national security, and are currently under investigation at special facilities outside Beijing."

The agents, seven in total, were divided into "support, action and blocking" groups and had identified Kim's location in China and the routes Kim used to travel, according to the report.

Kim Han Sol may represent a genuine threat to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

As the nephew of Kim Jong Un, the younger Kim is a member of the regime's Paektu bloodline, but had been living in exile with his family in Macau prior to his father's dramatic assassination in Kuala Lumpur.

Just because Kim Jong Un is paranoid does not mean there are not people out to get him.  He is acting like someone in a medieval dynastic intrigue.  It will be interesting to see how China reacts to this assassination attempt on their soil.  I suspect that the interrogation of the perps will be intense.
