Unbelievable! North Korean leader executed his Uncle

The uncle of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has been dragged from a military court and executed for being a 'traitor'.

Jang Song Thaek, 67, who had been considered the second most powerful official in the country, and a mentor to his nephew, was killed immediately after a trial.

It is believed he was executed in the customary North Korean way by firing squad.

In a statement Pyongyang called him a 'traitor to the nation for all ages,' 'worse than a dog' and 'despicable human scum' who planned a military coup.
