North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un brutally executed five senior officials with anti-aircraft guns because they made false reports which “enraged” him, South Korea’s spy agency claims. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) made the claims in a private briefing to politicians just days after Kim’s estranged older half-brother Kim Jong-nam was poisoned in a suspected assassination believed to have been ordered by the dictator.
An investigation is ongoing but South Korea says it believes Kim Jong Un ordered the killing of Kim Jong-nam on February 13 at Kuala Lumpur’s airport.
Now South Korean lawmaker Lee Cheol Woo has revealed the spy agency told politicians that five North Korean officials in the department of recently-purged state security chief Kim Won Hong had been executed by anti-aircraft guns because of false reports made to Kim.
It is not clear what the false reports are alleged to have said or how the NIS got its information, and South Korean spies have an inconsistent record when reporting about high-level events in highly-secretive North Korea.
