North Korea powerbroker 'dismissed'

[Jimbuna]

It looks like this guy was saved because of his family connection perhaps?

A powerful uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been removed from his post, South Korean media reports say.

Citing South Korea's intelligence agency, they say Chang Song-thaek, 67, lost his position as vice-chairman of the North's top military body.

Two close aides were also executed for corruption, according to the reports.
