Although some, including the New York Times, had speculated that Kim Jong Il, the Beloved Leader of North Korea, had been injured or even killed in the blast there last week, it appears that he was uninjured. From the Straits Times:
“SEOUL – North Korean leader Kim Jong Il inspected an army unit in his first public appearance since last month’s devastating train disaster in the country, reports said yesterday.
Mr Kim, accompanied by top military officials, inspected Unit 4302 and watched soldiers in training, said the North’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). ”
