P!
It’s a shame that he survived.
Not mentioned in the article: mobile phones can easily be used to trigger IEDs. That is the way it is often done. This may have been a reason the authorities in the DPRK were so nervous about having that kind of technology around.
I am still skeptical that this was really an assassination attempt. The explosion missed Kim Il Sung’s train by quite a bit, and caused much more collateral damage than would have been necessary to do the job. I think that it was an industrial accident, but one which played into the paranoia of rulers like Kim Jung Il.
I wonder how such a huge explosion managed to miss Kim.
Wow—somehow this method of assassination seems exquisitely North Korean.
Oh, if only it would have succeeded..!!
I had heard the early reports, but didn’t know then what to think —now I do.

Ah, well....now only if they had used a bigger bomb...
