North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and two other North Koreans obtained U.S. entry visas using fake Eastern European passports in 1997, the February edition of the Monthly Chosun reports.The magazine, published Tuesday, said that several months after the visas were issued, U.S. intelligence officials realized that the photos on the ledger were those of Kim Jong-il, a secretary by the name Park, and Kim’s mistress Chung Il-son. Investigations revealed that Park and Chung went in and out of the U.S. several times. It was not clear why Kim wanted a visa.
The monthly also reported that Ko Yong-suk, the sister of Kim Jong-il's recently deceased wife Ko Young-hee, defected to the United States in May 1998 with her husband, a man in his late 40s identified only as Park, through the U.S. Embassy in Switzerland. Ko tipped off U.S. officials that Kim was investing in the New York stock market. Kim's investments were subsequently frozen.

If he got them once, could he have done so a second time?
Maybe Kim Jong Il wanted to defect from those monstrous Communist barbarians who are starving the North Koreans.
