YTN News confirms Kim's cancer

After rumors flooded every informational outlet that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has cancer. Reports revealed that the rumors weren't just rumors.

According to Yahoo! News in an earlier published report, YTN News, a South Korean media institution confirmed that Kim has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is not expected to live more than five years. YTN News however, restored the anonymity of the South Korean and Chinese intelligence officials that revealed the information. The dictatorial leader, who suffered a stroke last year, is said to have been appearing in public to deceived the people of his current health condition. Studies suggests that pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer, citing that less than 5 percent of those diagnosed to have acquired the disease are still alive five years after diagnosis. Kim who obviously looks thinner, with lesser hair and also appears to be limping slightly could have other health worries as well such as diabetes and heart problems.
