North Korean army minister executed with a mortar shell

NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong-un cruelly executed a military minister with a mortar shell - for boozing during the official mourning period of his father.

Reports say army vice minister, Kim Chol was blown up after the tubby dictator heard he had been drinking merrily.

The Communist Party chief ordered to leave "no trace of him behind, down to the hair," the Daily Telegraph said.

Experts believe that Mr Kim, who took over from his father Kim Jong-il, has purged 14 senior officials in a bid to maintain power in the starving nation.
