South Korea Arrests 2 From North in Alleged Assassination Plot - NYTimes.com: "SEOUL. South Korea — South Korean security officials said Wednesday they had arrested two North Korean agents who posed as defectors in a plot to assassinate the highest-ranking North Korean defector by slitting his throat.

The defector, Hwang Jang-yop, a former North Korean Workers’ Party secretary, has bitterly criticized the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, since he defected in 1997. Mr. Hwang tutored Mr. Kim and helped create the country’s ruling philosophy of juche, or national self-reliance."
