Reports are emerging that Pumpkin Head has been killed by a suicide bomber in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang yesterday. But, don’t start celebrating just yet as we fear an unsophisticated ruse may be at work in an attempt to flush out political opponents. However, citing official sources, the East Asia Tribune claims that a report filed by North Korean state media earlier yesterday announced that ‘Kim Jong-un, chairman of the Worker’s Party of Korea and supreme leader of the DPRK, was killed in an explosion in Pyongyang which was believed to have been carried out by a female suicide bomber.’
The Defense Ministry denied a rumor Friday that a suicide bomber has killed North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. A foreign Internet site spread the rumor.
"As far as we know, that is not true," a ministry spokesman said during a press briefing. "The intelligence authorities believe the rumor has low credibility." Source
