"A special train crossed the (Russo-N. Korean) border"
A VIP train leaving Pyongyang was seen crossing the border in N.E. area (of N. Korea), according to sources on N. Korea on June 22nd.
According to them, there are many who claimed that they saw the Kim
Jong-il's VIP train crossing the border. Considering that the train crossed the N.E. area rather than Shinuiju area, some observers find it highly likely that Kim Jong-il is visiting Russia. If he is visiting Russia, he could be there to talk over the tense situation with U.S. created by (the recent) missile launch event.
A government official, when asked about this allegation, replied, "We are not able to verify it at the moment. The government is looking into it after receiving this piece of intelligence." Kim Jong-il used his special train when visiting Russian Far East in Aug., 2002. He also visited Russia (including Moscow) in 2001 via train.

Maybe Kim is going for more parts.
Maybe Kim is getting his butt out of Dodge.
Something to go HHHhhhmmmmmm about! Is he afraid to fly?
He must have run out of Beluga caviar. As for the peons, "Let 'em eat cake."
If true, this would be a very interesting development.
Didn't someone try to blow up one of 'lil Kim's trains a while back, or do I misremember?
Very interesting...especially with Japan's saying that an NK missile launch wasn't 'imminent'.
That was the South Korean government's position.
Is Eric Clapton booked for Moscow? Maybe Kim wants to join his son.
Wow and hmmm..
interesting
"Is he afraid to fly?"
Yes
Maybe he doesn't want to be around for the launch? Temperature might spike there (due to global warming). ;0)
"The private train of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. A yellow star decorates the front of the bullet and explosive-proof train, which is equipped with state-of-the-art communications equipment and has a bedroom, office, meeting room and dining room"
Better hope that train can float....just blow the right bridge and its glup glup glup...
IMO That star would make a great target!
"Explosive proof!" I wonder about that. Two F-16s, two 500lb bombs. Maybe not.
Yes
