North Korean Military Chief Executed For Corruption Charges Against Him - Reports

The chief of North Korea's military has been executed by order of the country's leader, Kim Jong-Un, according to reports.General Ri Yong-Gil, chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, was killed last week after being accused of corruption and other charges of pursuing personal gains, sources told the Yonhap agency.
"Ri Yong-Gil is known to have been faithful to principles, so it appears the North cited (the charges) to justify his execution," one source said.
The general was put to death around the time Mr Kim was chairing a joint meeting of the North's ruling Workers' Party and the military, they said.
If confirmed, the general's death comes less than a year after Mr Kim ordered the execution of his then-defence minister.
"This shows that Kim Jong-Un is very nervous about the armed forces," one source said.
