South Korean Silmido Incident

When i first read this i was surprised that i had never heard anything about this in the history of the cold war in asia. I was wondering what would have happened has this mission succeeded. Thirty south Korean inmates on death row for various crimes was told that they would be released from death row and given new lives and identities if they took this misson. The misson was to train and be sent behind the lines in north korea and assinate Kim ll Sung. They were deployed and a short time into the mission they were recalled. The reason was never given as to why and to boot they were not told that what was going to happen. The commanding officer was told by the KCIA that this could not get out and that all the inmates would have to be executed. Some were killed on Silmido and the commanding officer feeling that this was a raw deal told the rest of the inmates. They overpowerd the guards and made it to the main land of south korea after killing the female doctor on the island. They hijacked a bus and made there way to soul and almost to the Blue House(the south korean version of the White House) By this time local troops had be alerted about the escapees and told that they were North Korean infiltrators and when surrounded within miles of the Blue House they all took their hand grenades and threw them in the center of the bus and committed suicide. I was wondering if they had not been recalled what would have happend if they killed Kim and if it was even possible to begin with to make it to pyongyang and assasinate kim in the first place. By the way this all took place in the fall of 1968
 
If you go to Wikipedia there is a whole page on the "Second Korean War" if I recalled correctly, which were a bunch of border raids and terrorist attacks. I doubt war would come out of it, since North and South Korea are still tied to the Superpowers, which don't want a war.
 
If Kim il Sung, North Korea will have big problem because Kim il Sung not choose his Successor yet. Their may have a coup in North Korea too.
In the end ,it may result in Soviet intervention. Then China may also try to force Soviet back. So it may result in border war between Soviet and
China.
