Kim Jong Il May Have Had Stroke

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is sick and may have suffered a stroke (cerebral vascular accident-CVA) in the past month, a U.S. intelligence official said.

The official, who declined to be publicly identified, said it was noteworthy that Kim didn't attend the 60th anniversary celebration of North Korea's founding today.

U.S. intelligence had other reasons to believe Kim is ill, the official said, declining to describe those conclusions.

The South Korean government said Kim's absence at the celebration was unusual. ``We think that it is highly irregular, since he made an appearance during the 50th and 55th anniversary'' events, Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Ho Nyoun said in an interview.

A person who answered the telephone at the North Korean mission to the UN denied that Kim might have suffered a stroke. ``That is not true,'' the person said before hanging up without identifying himself. A subsequent call to the mission wasn't answered.

Kim is 67

North Korea issued a statement saying that the glorious leader's blood was as pure as spring water cleansed with the beards of a thousand Long-tailed Goral and it would be impossible for such a think to occur unless the glorious leader willed it to happen.
