Details of the plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un revealed

North Korean state media recently released a video as evidence that a male citizen of this country was paid by the US and South Korea to assassinate leader Kim Jong-un.

The video details how a carefully planned assassination attempt on Kim Jong-un was made last April. The video was released after North Korean state media repeatedly reported on the assassination attempt on the country's leader in early May.

Accordingly, Kim Song Il - a male citizen of this country is said to have received money from US and South Korean intelligence agencies to assassinate Mr. Kim Jong Un with "biochemical poison".

According to the Uriminzokkiri website, affiliated with the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim Song Il provided detailed information about the individuals he cooperated with.

"The first plan was to hide a microscopic poison in an air conditioner and activate it by voice command at a crucial moment," Kim Song Il said. "The second plan was to inject polonium into Kim Jong-un's body."

However, after South Korea's November 2016 directive, Kim said the plan to assassinate leader Kim Jong-un shifted to "planting poison in the seat of the supreme leader." Kim also said he was asked to collect and send as much information as possible about the environment around the area where events are often held, the guard situation, and the material of the chair or table that Kim Jong-un often uses.

Evidence in the assassination of Kim Jong-un

In the video, Kim is accused of approaching Do Hui-yun, a South Korean national and director of CHNK (Citizens' Coalition for the Human Rights of Abductees), while working in Russia's Khabarovsk region in June 2014.

Do "bribed Kim with cash and goods", giving Kim a desktop computer and a satellite transmitter to provide internet access in North Korea.

Then, in August 2014, a "leader" of the South Korean national intelligence agency went to Khabarovsk to meet Kim and gave him a plan to assassinate Kim Jong-un using "biochemical poisons containing radioactive substances and nano-toxins that only the CIA can produce."

Kim confessed: "They asked me to come up with a terrorist plan using biochemical toxins and gave me $10,000, a Doogee smartphone and a satellite transmitter."

Kim then said that in January 2016, a man named Han attempted to set up an overseas communications center in Dandong. There, Kim planned to receive about $100,000 from South Korean agents as well as the necessary items to carry out the assassination.

By March 5, 2017, South Korean intelligence had sent agents and equipment to support the plan. However, according to North Korean media, by mid-April, the plot to assassinate Kim Jong Un was discovered by the North Korean Ministry of Public Security and Kim was arrested.
