Kim Shin-jo, a former North Korean commando involved in a failed assassination attempt on South Korean President Park Chung-hee in 1968, has died at 82. Captured alive, he later became a Christian pastor in South Korea. The assassination attempt occurred during the Cold War, resulting in military training in schools and a residential ID system in South Korea. Kim claimed he was pardoned for not firing during the shootouts and later criticized life in North Korea, learning of his parents' execution through defectors.
