North Kora has executed its defence chief for treason according to South Korea’s spy agency. Leader Kim Jong-un has ordered the execution of 15 senior officials this year.<br /><br /> Hyon Yong-chol who was head of the country’s military is said to have shown his disloyalty to Kim by dozing off at a public event.<br /><br /> He was executed by firing squad – obliterated by an anti-aircraft gun – watched by hundreds of people, said South Korean media.<br /><br /> “Such a public and brutal method of execution would emphasis the coast of disloyalty.” <br /><br /> Analysts of the isolated county have observed that North Korean internal politics is very volatile at the moment. There is apparently little respect for Kim Jong-un within the core of the military.<br /><br /> The number of executions – almost one a week – appears to reveal a leader in Pyongyang who feels very insecure but is dangerous .<br /><br /> .
