North Korean army official executed... by mortar round

"Yup, he blowed up real good!!"

A vice-minister of the North Korean military has been put to death for "drinking and carousing" during the official mourning for that country's late despot Kim Jong-il.

And to emphasize the point, the poor dude was executed by mortar fire...

Kim Chol, vice minister of the army, was taken into custody earlier this year on the orders of Kim Jong-un, who assumed the leadership after the death of his father in December.

On the orders of Kim Jong-un to leave "no trace of him behind, down to his hair," according to South Korean media, Kim Chol was forced to stand on a spot that had been zeroed in for a mortar round and "obliterated."

The execution of Kim Chol is just one example of a purge of members of the North Korean military or party who threatened the fledgling regime of Kim Jong-un.

Sheeeesh... Talk about overkill.
