\"ZU-2\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

According to AFP<\/a>, Hyon Yong-Chol, the North Korean defense minister was executed with an anti-aircraft machine gun that may have been the ZU-2 14.5 millimeter weapon;<\/p>\n

In a briefing Wednesday to a parliamentary committee, Han Ki-Beom, the deputy director of NIS, said hundreds of people witnessed the execution of defence minister Hyon Yong-Chol, which was believed to have been carried out around April 30 at a military academy in northern Pyongyang.<\/p>\n

Han told lawmakers that intelligence sources suggested Han was shot to pieces using an anti-aircraft gun firing 14.5mm calibre rounds.<\/p>\n

Such a violent method of execution has been cited in various unconfirmed reports as being reserved for senior officials who the leadership wishes to make examples of.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s been reported that Hyon was executed because he fell asleep during a rally. <\/p>\n
