"In its annual study, Amnesty International claimed that in addition to the 30 who died in purges last year, a further 200 were rounded up in January this year by the State Security Agency as Pyongyang carried out the transfer of power from Kim Jong-il, who died of an apparent heart attack in December, and his 29-year-old son, Kim Jong-un"

Having driven through Korea Town in Los Angeles, I am not sure if the traffic accident deaths are unusual.

Easy to see how the traffic carnage totals would stack up in a free-for-all situation like Pyongyang. /s

Those people are from South Korea. There is no traffic in North Korea.
