North Korea 'executes army chief of staff'
Telegraph ^ | 02-10-2016 | Reuters

North Korea has executed its army chief of staff, Ri Yong Gil, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday, which, if true, would be the latest in a series of executions, purges and disappearances under its young leader.

The news comes amid heightened tension surrounding isolated North Korea after its Sunday launch of a long-range rocket, which came about a month after it drew international condemnation for conducting its fourth nuclear test.

A source familiar with North Korean affairs also told Reuters that Ri had been executed. The source declined to be identified, given the sensitivity of the matter.

What they use this time - a flame thrower? ..................... Maybe he’s up there circling the earth in a weather/communication/spy satellite?

It takes a special kind of person to develop the policy and procedures manual on “Termination Processing” in the HR Department in Nork-land.

He was on the satellite they just put up. He finally couldn’t hold his breath any longer.

You would think that the Army would get sick of his crap and just have him meet with an accident.

Just being next to this clown is a health hazard.

**Wonder if they strapped him to the rocket?***

Maybe that is why their satellite is tumbling in space. Off balanced. First NOK in space!

That is a dangerous occupation in NK. I hope they have good life insurance plans.

He died because the satellite was two and a half hours late to take pictures of Beyonce.

North Korea has got to be the most God-forsaken nation on this planet.

I don’t even think ISIS controlled territory can hold a candle to that evil realm.

And therein lies the answer to why he got dead. They really wanted this thing to pass over the Stupid Bowl at a low enough orbit where it would be noticed.

And I can see Madeline NotSoBright sipping Champagne with this nitwit's father toasting how they got a great deal out of them.....
