n late 2013, Jang Song-thaek, an uncle of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, was taken to the Gang Gun Military Academy in a Pyongyang suburb.
Hundreds of officials were gathered there to witness the execution of Mr. Jang’s two trusted deputies in the administrative department of the ruling Workers’ Party.
The two men, Ri Ryong-ha and Jang Su-gil, were torn apart by antiaircraft machine guns, according to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service. The executioners then incinerated their bodies with flamethrowers.

In his memoir, a Japanese sushi chef for Kim Jong-il from 1988 to 2001 who goes by the alias Kenji Fujimoto remembered Mr. Jang as a fun-loving prankster who was a regular at banquets that could last until morning or even stretch a few days. A key feature of the events was a “pleasure squad” of young, attractive women who would dance the cancan, sing American country songs or perform a striptease, according to the book and accounts by defectors.
Mr. Jang also mobilized North Korean diplomats abroad to import Danish dairy products, Black Sea caviar, French cognac and Japanese electronics — gifts Mr. Kim handed out during his parties to keep his elites loyal.

Kim Jong-un. What a buzzkill.
Yep, that oughta do it.
BO is SOOOOOO envious of that kind of power.
Exactly what the bullet sounded like as it ricocheted.
Is this one of the world leaders who prefers Hillary over Trump?
Funny how my mind got fixated on this particular part of the article and couldn't stop thinking about it. There is NOTHING on this Earth more enticing that a HOT Korean woman!
“Sir, I don’t think this man’s gonna make it.”

And after all that hellabellew about waterboarding!

The article is a bit confusing because the headline says that the uncle was killed but the article says that his two deputies were. I think we can guess that the uncle met with a similar demise but the article doesn’t exactly say that.
Mr. Jang was convicted of treason in 2013. He was executed at the same place and in the same way as his deputies, the South Korean intelligence agency said.ticle:
He's been dead for about five years, so I don't know if that would be relevant.
Has any leader publicly said they prefer Hillary over Trump? Putin said positive things about Trump, but he didn’t say it in the context of who he preferred.
Hillary seems to think so: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3409089/posts
Well there ya go, he needed killin'.
I don’t regard her as a reliable source of information.
According to the late Don Martin, that would be “Jang Song-Thwack”
Who isn’t starving in a gulag....
Now his name is “Bang Ding Ow”.
