Imagine an execution without use of lethal injection, electric chair or even firing squad.
North Korea has a better idea, not widely reported in U.S. media last week, illustrated when it executed two senior officials via blasting them with (ready for this?) an anti-aircraft gun, notes Grumpy Editor.
Main reason?
Disobeying North Korea leader Kim Jong Un.
Taking the splattering blast were a former agricultural minister who pushed for policy proposals that were seen as a direct challenge to Kim's leadership, and a senior official in the education ministry whose major offense was falling asleep during a meeting presided over by Kim.
The action took place at a military academy in Pyongyang early last month, according to a South Korean newspaper.
