Where is Kim Jong-un? The head of North Korea hasn't been seen in
public in at least five weeks, and many are reporting
[http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/09/world/asia/in-kim-jong-uns-absence-rumors-about-him-swirl-in-north-korea.html] that
he's gone missing.
Some of the speculation has been fantastical, with suggestions that
there may have been a coup. There are also reports that the young
leader has eaten one too many cheeseburgers and is suffering from a
bad case of gout.
National Security Correspondent DAVID SANGER has been looking into all
of this for our partner The New York Times.
