Close aides of Kim Jong-un, the 26-year-old third son and heir apparent of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, last week attempted to assassinate the leader's first son Jong-nam, KBS reported Monday citing Chinese government sources.
Aides to Kim Jong-un planned to assassinate Jong-nam, who lives in Macau, after first eliminating his close aides in North Korea. The sources said, "It seems they tried to assassinate Kim Jong-nam without telling Kim Jong-il."
The plan was foiled when the Chinese government found out about it early last week. "The Chinese government warned North Korea to stop the assassination attempt, and sent intelligence and military officers to Macau and spirited Kim Jong-nam to a safe place," the sources said.
In protest against North Korea's nuclear test and the assassination plan, China reportedly shelved all collaboration projects with North Korea such as developing natural resources and building infrastructure, part of projects celebrating the "China-North Korea Friendship Year." The sources said China also delivered a message that it would halt food and fuel assistance if North Korea continues its provocations.
The sources said the reason China was protecting Kim Jong-nam is because he has been developing friendships with high-ranking Chinese officials for a long time. KBS said Kim Jong-nam is likely to weigh option of seeking asylum in China.
Reagan's "Peace Through Strength" doctrine is the only viable way of dealing with unstable dictatorial regimes. Look at the plethora of examples where this has proved true.
-Upon Reagan's inauguration the Iranians released the hostages knowing the new President would not put up with their terrorism.
-Need I even say it, but the fall of the Soviet Union, most signified by the fall of the Berlin Wall.
-Qaddafi handing over his nuclear program to the Bush administration for fear of being removed from power, captured, tried, convicted, and executed like Saddam.

Now look at Obama's short but dangerously naive track record.
-Appease the Iranian extremists, and the Mullahs. Result: A stolen election, dashing the hopes for democratic reform in Iran.
-Appease the Arab world, and tell Israel they surrender. Result: Mubarak rejecting peace with Israel as long as Israel remains a "Jewish state".
-Appease North Korea. Result: Kim Jong-Il and his Kim Jong-Ilk detonate 1 nuclear weapon, lob dozens of missiles (scaring the bejesus out of their neighbors in the process), and threatening to detonate a 2nd nuke.
OBAMA HAS ALREADY FAILED MISERABLY!
He kill brudder, he be ronery.
Hopefully all of them will be offed, one way or the other and the N. Korean people can have some kind of a future in which to look forward.
They all need to be taken out....with bullets or thermal nuk-u-lar heat...
That is one F’d up family.
How long before books and movies are made of this?
As long as it takes Kim Jong-Il to kidnap Japanese actors to be in his own feature film.... Wah, wah, wah
“I was passed OVUH !”
Busy day in the Axis of Evil.
Kim Jong-Un, whey you twi to krril yo brudder...?
I posit he wishes them well as they share an anti-American agenda.
Kim Jong Ill must be close to death.
No one wants an “Un”-planned demise.
