Reuters reports:
"North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has pancreatic cancer and the illness
is life-threatening, South Korean broadcaster YTN said on Monday based
on information gathered by Chinese and South Korean intelligence
sources.
"Kim's health is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the reclusive communist state. Kim, 67, was widely thought to have suffered a stroke last year, but there has never been official confirmation."

Kim Jong-il is about as dictatorial and guarded as they come. I'm wondering how any foreign intelligence source would get close enough to learn about Kim's health -- or about anything else that Kim didn't want known. Memeorandum has commentary.
