A Japanese newspaper reports that a failed attempt was made to blow up North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s exclusive train in May last year.
 
The Tokyo Shimbun reported on Sunday that the incident was used as an example in a recent lecture hosted by the State Security Department of North Korea in South Pyongan Province. 

The lecturer explained that a man had contrived the plan to remove Kim and overthrow the North Korean regime after failing in going on to higher education and became discontented with the North.
 
The man aimed to blow up Kim’s train by planting explosives along a railway leading to the venue of an event during the Workers' Party Congress in which the North Korean leader was set to participate.
