Hitmen who were planning to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have been detained, according to reports.
At least two people - one of whom is believed to be a North Korean defector, and at least one Chinese national - were arrested near Tumen River at the border with China, it is claimed.
The suspects were allegedly planning to kill the dictator in Hoeryong in North Hamgyong Province, it has been reported.
An unnamed source in North Korea told Asia Press said he heard the 'terrorists' had not crossed the river from China.
North Korean guards went to China to arrest them and the suspects were taken to the State Security Department, the source claimed. The guards were reportedly given rewards for their work.
However, the founder of Asia Press said the story was probably just a rumour spread by the state to to garner support for the Korean Workers' Party before the 7th Congress.
The 7th Congress of North Korea's Workers' Party in early May will be the first in 36 years and the first under leader Kim Jong Un.
He is expected to announce major policy directives and personnel changes.

Reward?
Two fish heads and a tablespoon of rice?
Roots to gnar on.
Sounds like a Plan—Was this a Chinese plot? best to kill this nut case before he can start a general war. Trump was right on this (as he is in many things).
With a target like that, how can you miss?
Loan them a Predator drone and a control panel for it!
They were probably a pair of Mongolians looking for a fishing hole. The Norks are so paranoid you can be arrested for not snoring Fatboy’s name.
This ought to put them in square with the Chinese.
I wonder if these were the two arrested.
He could feed a hell of a luau.
“North Korean guards went to China to arrest them”
Were they captured by the Chinese and then turned over?
Or did the NK guards cross into China to get them?
(How does China feel about that?)
