The Reason for Nervousness

According to South Korea’s intelligence agency, Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator, is “extremely nervous” about plots to assassinate him, and uses several ruses to foil would-be assailants.

Officials of the National Intelligence Service told a session of the South Korean parliament that apart from fearing an attack by gunmen on the vehicles, Kim is also constantly worried about an airstrike.

“Kim is engrossed with collecting information about the ‘decapitation operation’ through his intelligence agencies”,

said Lee Cheol-woo, an opposition politician who attended the meeting. He also went on to add that Kim took to traveling at dawn. Likewise, the dictator also switches between different subordinates’ cars instead of always traveling in his own Mercedes-Benz.

The Hermit Kingdom’s supreme leader has had his concerns soar since it was reported earlier this year that the US and South Korea are setting up a special forces unit that would be tasked with eliminating the North Korean leadership in the event of war breaking out in the Korean peninsula.

In March, members of the US Navy’s Seal Team Six, which carried out Osama Bin Laden’s murder, took part in exercises with South Korean special forces. Along there were the US Army’s Rangers, Delta Force, and Green Berets units.

The US made it clear that the units were training to carry out a “decapitation operation” designed to kill the North’s leaders and destroy the regime’s ability to continue fighting.

Internal Threats

Apart from the various external threats to Kim’s life, there were reports of numerous coups against the Kim family.

According to intelligence sources in South Korea, personal security around Kim dramatically stepped up in March 2013. Numerous armored vehicles stood close by to his residence in Pyongyang. There were also troops carrying automatic rifles on the streets of the city.

Likewise, mobile phone signals jammed at public events that the North Korean leader attended.

4 months prior, there were reports of outbreaks of gunfire on the streets of the North Korean capital. It happened between factions within the military and discontent in some quarters with how Kim was managing the country.
