North Korean Leader Spotted In Public For The First Time Since His Half-brother's Assassination


This is the first picture of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un since his half-brother was assassinated. The dictator was attending a birthday celebration for the state's late leader Kim Jong-Il in Pyongyang - the second-most important holiday of the year. 

But most of those present at the event are unaware that Jong-Il's exiled son Kim Jong-Nam was killed just days ago in what appears to have been a carefully planned assassination. 


Instead, North Koreans marked Kim Jong Il's life as they do every year, with dancing, special treats for children and reverential bows and bouquets of flowers before bronze statues.

South Korean security officials suspect North Korea ordered the assassination of Jong Nam amid fears he was about to defect. 

But there has been no mention of his killing at the Kuala Lumpur airport in the North's official media. 

Jong Nam, who is believed to have lived most of the past decade in a kind of exile away from the North, may as well have never existed as far as most North Koreans are concerned.

Few have access to outside media sources and reports here are generally limited to the ruling line of Kims.
