Kim Shin-jo (pic), a prominent ex-North Korean commando who resettled in South Korea as a pastor after his daring mission to assassinate then South Korean president Park Chung-hee in 1968 failed, has died. He was 82.
Shin-jo died of old age on Wednesday after two months of stay at a nursing home and his official funeral is set for tomorrow, Shin-jo’s Sungrak Church in Seoul said.
