This guy is worse than his father!<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Korea’s state news agency is reporting that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered the execution of his uncle’s entire family, including children.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Extensive executions have been carried out for relatives of Jang Song-thaek,” one source told Yonhap. “All relatives of Jang have been put to death, including even children.”<\/p>\n

On Dec. 12, Kim Jong-un executed his uncle and his close allies for “acts of treachery,” which may have been related to a business dispute.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yonhap is known for its anti-North Korean bias. And other stories about the purge are probably fake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Kim’s ruthlessness cannot be discounted.<\/p>\n

From Yonhap:<\/strong>
\nThe executed relatives include Jang’s sister Jang Kye-sun, her husband and Ambassador to Cuba Jon Yong-jin, and Ambassador to Malaysia Jang Yong-chol, who is a nephew of Jang, as well as his two sons, the sources said.<\/p>\n

All of them were recalled to Pyongyang in early December and executed, they said.<\/strong> The sons, daughters and even grandchildren of Jang’s two brothers were all executed, they said.<\/p>\n

It is unclear if Jang’s wife, who is the younger sister of Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il, is among those ordered executed.
