SEOUL, Jan. 26 (Yonhap) -- All relatives of the executed uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, including children and the country's ambassadors to Cuba and Malaysia, have also been put to death at the leader's instruction, multiple sources said Sunday.
Jang Song-thaek, the once-powerful uncle, was executed last month on charges of attempting to overthrow the communist regime, including contemplating a military-backed coup. All direct relatives of Jang have also been executed, the sources said.
"Extensive executions have been carried out for relatives of Jang Song-thaek," one source said on condition of anonymity. "All relatives of Jang have been put to death, including even children."
The executed relatives include Jang's sister Jang Kye-sun, her husband and Ambassador to Cuba Jon Yong-jin, and Ambassador to Malaysia Jang Yong-chol, who is a nephew of Jang, as well as his two sons, the sources said.
All of them were recalled to Pyongyang in early December and executed, they said. The sons, daughters and even grandchildren of Jang's two brothers were all executed, they said.
It was unclear exactly when they were killed, but they are believed to have been put to death after Jang's death on Dec. 12.
"Some relatives were shot to death by pistol in front of other people if they resisted while being dragged out of their apartment homes," another source said.
Some relatives by marriage, including the wife of the ambassador to Malaysia, have been spared from executions and sent to remote villages along with their maiden families, according to the sources.
"The executions of Jang's relatives mean that no traces of him should be left," a source said. "The purge of the Jang Song-thaek people is under way on an extensive scale from relatives and low-level officials."
Bump
P!
Somewhere in an off-round office a would-be dictator is taking notes...
The country is totally insane. I actually expected something like this

Unpleasant little fat bastard, isn’t he?
Could that be a certain Black-White-now-Asian President who doesn’t appear to know his XXX from a hole in the ground? That would-be dictator?
Kim’s turn is coming. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
I gotta wonder if those Ambassadors were executed in NK or in the countries they were Ambassadors to? Did some NK Zampolit walk up behind them and shoot them in the back of the head?
LOLOL!!! that movie was a riot... 
Wait, so a relative of yours get executed and you get recalled home, why the F do you get on the plane???
“D’OH! I didn’t mean literally all relatives,” protested North Korean leader Kim Jong-un . . . .
You would think between famine and executions, North Korea would eventually run out of people.
But... Wouldn't Kim Jong-un be a relative of his uncle?
Yet the little Un was not executed, was he.
They must have worded that execution order very carefully, huh...
getting rid of all the DNA
They got the wrong nephew.
