North Korean leader fed uncle to starving dogs, report says

The Singaporean Straits Times cited a report from Wen Wei Po, a Beijing-control newspaper, that said Jang Song Thaek and five close associates were stripped and fed to 120 dogs that had not eaten for three days. The entire process, witnessed by 300 senior officials, lasted for about an hour, the report said. Fox News could not immediately verify the report.
Gordon Chang, the author of "Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes on the World," said he heard about the reports of Jang's brutal death back in early December. And although the reports are unconfirmed, Chang said "it is entirely possible" that Jang met his demise in the dog cage.
"These deaths send a message that you better not cross the leader"

"These deaths send a message that you better not cross the leader," Chang said. North Korea is known for its brutal killings. Chang said that Jang himself may have been responsible in the execution of a North Korean military colonel who was killed by a mortar shell.
Most political prisoners in North Korea are killed by a firing squad, Singaporean Straits Times reported. Kim’s reported departure from that method drew fresh rebuke from The Global Times, a Communist Party paper, which called the killing an example of backwardness of the regime. The editorial went on to urge Beijing to distance itself from the country.
