Strange events continue in xtnyoda's eyes... as in this surprise movement by North Koreans ruler... Kim Jong-il... in the dead of night traveling to China... unannounced to China itself... and not on one of his luxury trains... but on a cargo train of all things.

This does serve to make one wonder about the story posted a couple of days ago on this blog site about the allegation that North Korea was actually behind the destruction of the oil well in the Gulf of Mexico?

Could Mr. Kim actually be afraid of a retaliation move by the United States... therefore this strange secret move by the dictator?

North Korean cargo train sparks Kim trip speculation

DANDONG, China - The train thought to be carrying Kim Jong-il to China appears to have be a cargo freighter on a journey unrelated to the reclusive North Korean leader, witnesses at the border said on Saturday.

South Korea’s Yonhap news sparked speculation that Kim may be heading to China when it said one of the special trains Kim uses on rare trips outside his hermit state was seen in the Chinese border city of Dandong.

Witnesses in Dandong who saw the train cross in the pre-dawn hours and video footage shot by Reuters TV indicates it was a freighter and not Kim’s armoured train.

"It was a regular cargo train," one witness said.

South Korean officials said this week a trip was imminent, with analysts saying a visit would help revive dormant international talks hosted by Beijing on ending Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions.

The North’s official news agency said in a report on Saturday that Kim had watched a musical performance in Pyongyang. It did not give a date for when he attended the event.

Kim’s few trips to China have often led to moves that decrease the security threat Pyongyang poses to the economically vibrant region.

Kim’s trips abroad are usually shrouded in secrecy and his state’s official media does not report on them until his journey is over and he is safely back in Pyongyang....

I'll be following this.

I would be surprised to learn that the N Koreans had anything to do with it. On the other hand, I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that the green weenies did it.
