North Korea ruler Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered that all blood relatives of his executed uncle be put to death, continuing an apparent purge of all he sees as threats to his reign.
South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, citing multiple sources, reported Sunday that "extensive executions" of relatives of Jang Song-thaek had been carried out.
"All relatives of Jang have been put to death, including even children," one source told Yonhap. Among those reported dead were Jang's sister Jang Kye-sun, her husband and Pyongyang's ambassador to Cuba, Jon Yong-jin, and the North Korean ambassador to Malaysia, Jang Yong-chol, a nephew of Jang, as well as his two sons.
In addition, Yonhap reported that the sons, daughters, and grandchildren of Jang's two brothers were executed as well.
Jang Song-theak, an uncle of Kim Jong-un by marriage, held some of the most powerful positions in North Korea before he was arrested and put to death on December 12 of last year on charges of contemplating a military coup to overthrow the young dictator.

“Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered that all blood relatives of his executed uncle be put to death”
Would that not also include himself?
If it's not by a compassionate western civilization, it'll never be done.
I’m not so sure he got much of a western education...
The progressive, socialist paradise of North Korea. This is what our professors want.
I suppose no Family Reunions or a little Thanksgiving Meals. Well they got what they deserve for playing with the Devil. They supported it now it will kill them. Have no sorrow for them except for the babies. Looks like this Mini-me is becoming more evil than his grandpapa and papa.
This harmless looking little riceball is proving more dangerous than the fanged infant in “It’s Alive!”
Nope. The uncle executed was an uncle by marriage. The bloodbath is limited to uncle’s genetic relatives.
Murder everyone who can even remotely challenge you for the throne. Just like the paranoid kings and emperors of old.
Little Fat Boy is having a tantrum......
ROFL good one Elcid970 how true
F***ng sociopath nutcase.
The Game of Throne, North Korean style.
Historically, purges have occurred many times when political leadership changed. They tend toward any who might seem to be potential challengers in the future.
The resulting fear is how new leaders maintain power.
Swiss-educated like his brothers, Kim Jong-un avoided Western influences, returning home when not in school and dining out with the North Korean ambassador. From BBC
Ah, that makes sense.
I’m sure it was little different than our modern educational system provides.
Why millions of .40 caliber rounds again?
