There’s been a train explosion in North Korea that may have killed as many 1,000 people; unfortunately, Kim Jong-Il was apparently not among them. For more check out the North Korea-specific blog of journalist Rebecca MacKinnon, who was at BloggerCon.
Not including Korean War vets, MacKinnon is one of only two people I’ve met who have been to North Korea (the other being Christopher Hitchens).
