Jang Song-thaek
Jang Song-thaek
NORTH KOREA: EXECUTED KIM JONG UN'S UNCLE

December 12, 2013: North Korea said that it executed Kim Jong Un's uncle, calling the leader's former mentor a traitor who tried to seize power and overthrow the state.
The announcement came days after Jang Song Thaek - long considered the country's second in command - was removed from all his posts because of a long list of allegations, including corruption, drug use, gambling and womanising.
In an unusually detailed announcement, the official news agency KCNA said Jang had been tried for "such hideous crime as attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues and despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our party and state".
It called him a "traitor to the nation for all ages" and "worse than a dog".
Kim has overseen other high-profile purges since taking power after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, two years ago. None of the purges have been as public - or as close to home - as the downfall of Jang, who was seen as helping the younger Kim consolidate power.
Analysts have said Kim acted swiftly and ruthlessly to bolster his own power and show strength, but there has been fear in South Korea that the removal of Jang and his followers could lead to instability or an attack on the South. Jang had been seen by outsiders as the leading supporter of Chinese-style economic reforms.
The KCNA report called Jang a "despicable political careerist and trickster" and "despicable human scum".
It was also unusually specific and chilling in its allegations. For instance, the report said that at one point, Jang did not rise and applaud his nephew's appointment to a senior position because he "thought that if Kim Jong Un's base and system for leading the army were consolidated, this would lay a stumbling block in the way of grabbing the power".
Jang was described earlier this week by state media as "abusing his power", being "engrossed in irregularities and corruption", and taking drugs and squandering money at casinos while undergoing medical treatment in a foreign country. (Sources: news.uk.msn.com, 12/12/2013)
