N. Korea: Kim Jong-il Suffered Heart-attack and Hospitalized Recently

N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il was rushed to a hospital recently due to myocardial infarction, according to June 8th report of Shukan Gendai, an weekly magazine.

According to this report, doctors from Berlin were brought in to perform an operation. 65 year-old has been in poor health, including diabetes, according to reports so far.

Shukan Gendai drew an attention last year by disclosing for the first time the picture of Kim Jong-il's new wife Kim Ok.

Surprising that they haven’t made any historical claims on the land yet!

Sounds just like rumors at this point, no independent confirmation, and he did appear 4 June at a “duck-rearing” farm, of all places. However, it is true that his health is nothing to write home about.

If that's true, the story will come out soon enough.

How can a god suffer a heart attack? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong-il Kim Jong-il's official biography states that he was born atop Baekdu Mountain (백두산) at 6 o'clock in the morning in northern Korea on February 16, 1942. The official biography also holds that his birth at Baekdu Mountain was foretold by a swallow, and heralded by the appearance of a double rainbow over the mountain and a new star in the heavens
