'South Korea Says It Has 'Enough Intelligence' To Say Kim Jong Un Is Still Alive'

"On Monday, South Korean officials dispelled speculation that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is in poor health.

At a closed-door meeting in Seoul, Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul said the South Korean government had "enough intelligence to confidently say that there are no unusual developments" that would offer evidence that Kim is in grave condition or dead after heart surgery, according to The Associated Press.

The minister didn't specify which intelligence he was referring to." …
