Jang was described as "abusing his power," being "engrossed in irregularities and corruption," having "improper relations with women," taking drugs, and gambling at casinos while undergoing medical treatment in a foreign country.
South Korean intelligence officials said days ago that two of Jang's aides had been executed for corruption, and a recent state documentary in the North had all images of Jang removed.

I wonder when his body will turn up?

Hmm, I wonder what the real reason is. It just seems to me that such a regime wouldn't care about those things.

Power struggle between uncle and nephew - uncle lost.

The mortar round story was bullshit, just so you know Thanos... Like most stuff we hear from the North.
As for this story, a removal of an official from office certainly is surprising and rare, including here at home.

No doubt he'll soon die of an unexpected heart condition...caused by a bullet.

I hear Rob Ford put in for the job opening.

Well there is video of Saddam doing a death by mortar on one of his army personnel, the N.K midget is far more insane, so could be very well plausible.

It may not have been a mortar round, and it was exceptionally more cruel way to do it:

THE execution of Jang Song Thaek, the No. 2 man in North Korea, took Beijing by surprise and will adversely affect bilateral relations.
Beijing's displeasure is expressed through the publication of a detailed account of Jang's brutal execution in Wen Wei Po, its official mouthpiece, in Hong Kong, on Dec 12.
According to the report, unlike previous executions of political prisoners which were carried out by firing squads with machine guns, Jang was stripped naked and thrown into a cage, along with his five closest aides. Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called "quan jue", or execution by dogs.
The report said the entire process lasted for an hour, with Mr Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader in North Korea, supervising it along with 300 senior officials.
