Forget the hangman’s noose, the firing squad or lethal injection: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un executed his uncle and a handful of the man’s aides by feeding them to a horde of 120 starving dogs, according to a shocking account.

Jang Song Thaek, the former No. 2 official in the secretive regime, was stripped naked and tossed into a cage along with his five closest aides.

“Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called ‘quan jue’, or execution by dogs,” according to the Straits Times of Singapore. The daily relied on a description of the execution in a Hong Kong newspaper that serves as the official mouthpiece of China’s government.

“The entire process lasted for an hour, with Mr. Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader in North Korea, supervising it along with 300 senior officials,” the Straits Times said in a piece published Dec. 24, 2013, but only now getting traction in the United States. Two American national security officials contacted for comment said they had not heard that account, which first appeared in the Wen Wei Po newspaper on Dec. 12, 2013.

While China acts as North Korea’s patron, relations between the two have been strained. The United States wants Beijing to take a more active role in pressuring Kim’s Stalinist regime in Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons. The Straits Times suggested that China’s government leaked the account of the December execution to signal its anger at Kim’s government.

The United States has labored to get a grip on what kind of leader Kim Jong Un will be, amid worries in Washington that he is more reckless than his father, Kim Jong Il, whom he succeeded as supreme leader in December 2011

speechless

Kim jong has sent a strong message to those 300 senior officers who watched the live clip-make the wrong move,you've got a date with the hounds. I imagine APC in North korea.

Someone needs to cut that ugly fat boy down to size.

do you people like freedom or want the supremo authoritharian style of this leader to be replicated in our country?? dont forget there are many Kim Jong Un here in Naija as well as on Nairaland!! been a good leader depends on how a person treats those below him esp the vulnerable and completely obvious enemies such as terrorists like Bokoterrorits! that is why Mandiba was a great man( remember he had the choice to chase and execute those aparthied bigoted racists then, if he wanted to. but he embraced them thats why SA is a great giant country in Africa today.
