Kim ordered a military officer to be executed in a way that would leave âno trace of him behind, down to his hair,â the daily Chosun Ilbo reported, quoting a South Korean government source. The officer was placed at the aiming point of a mortar range, where an artillery shell exploded and blew him to pieces, the newspaper reported. His crime: being caught drunk during the mourning period for Kim Jong-il, Mr. Kimâs father and predecessor who died in December. The execution was part of a purge of âunsoundâ military officers that took place under the control of the new supreme leader, the paper reported. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/22/report-north-korea-using-mortar-firing-squads/
