By JAE-SOON CHANG – 1 day ago
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The youngest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has taken charge at the country's spy agency to prepare him to inherit the leadership of the communist nation from his father, a news report said Wednesday.
Kim told senior officials of the State Security Department in March to "uphold" his 26-year-old third son, Kim Jong Un, as head of the agency, while doling out foreign-made luxury cars to the officials as gifts, Seoul's Dong-a Ilbo newspaper reported.....
Kim Jong Il has two other known sons. The eldest one, Jong Nam, 38, was considered the favorite to succeed his father until he was caught trying to enter Japan on a fake passport in 2001, reportedly to visit the Disney resort.
Kim considers the middle son, Jong Chol, 28, too effeminate, according to the leader's former sushi chef. Copyright © 2009 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
