South Korea's spy agency told the country's lawmakers Wednesday that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un executed his defense chief for falling asleep during a meeting and talking back to the young leader.
Lawmaker Shin Kyoung-min says that officials from the National Intelligence Service told a closed-door parliamentary committee that People's Armed Forces Minister Hyon Yong Chol was killed by anti-aircraft gunfire with hundreds watching at a shooting range at Pyongyang's Kang Kon Military Academy in late April. Shin was one of the lawmakers who attended the briefing.
The office of another lawmaker, Lee Cheol Woo, released similar information about the NIS briefing.
The NIS didn't tell lawmakers how it got the information, saying only that it was from a variety of channels and that it believed it to be true, Shin said. The agency wouldn't comment when contacted by The Associated Press. South Korea's spy agency has a spotty record of tracking developments in North Korea. Information about the secretive, authoritarian state is often impossible to confirm.

You know. When you're gonna execute someone for falling asleep - do it up big.

...
I bet talking back was the real reason.
Always leave them laughing, I say.
My HS math teacher (also the football coach) used to wake up students who fell asleep in class with a good toss of the blackboard eraser... he had a great aim. Execution does however sound a bit excessive.
Well, it would be quick . . .
Gotta give the lil commie credit. He sure is creative when killing senior staff.
I am waiting for him to attach his EPA chief to a torpedo and shoot at some whales.
Where do I get one of those cool balloon hats?
Yep. However, most articles I've seen about this incident only mention the falling asleep part. Because that makes for a better story. Actual facts are no longer important.
Odd, distracted - almost sleepy and inattentive - faces on ALL of the generals right behind the dictator.
You’d never that attitude in Japan, China, Russia ...
