(ETH) – There is developing reports from CNN, that North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, is in grave danger after surgery, according to a US official with direct knowledge. According to the report, Kim recently missed the celebration of his grandfather’s birthday on April 15, which raised speculation about his well-being. He had been seen four days before that at a government meeting.
The report went on to say that the National Security Council and Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment when reached by CNN on Monday. CNN has also reached out to the CIA and the State Department for comment and sought comment from the South Koreans. Gathering intelligence out of North Korea is notoriously difficult — one of the most challenging targets for US intelligence.
