Outside calling

The latest insanity from the hermit kingdom-

A North Korean factory boss accused of making international phone calls was executed by a firing squad in front of 150,000 people, it emerged today.

The manager was gunned down in a sports stadium in South Pyongan province after authorities claimed he'd installed 13 in a basement to reach the outside world, the Good Friends aid agency revealed.

And six people were also crushed to death and 34 others injured in an apparent stampede as they left after the execution, it was claimed.

The factory chief's death last month came as executions in the communist dictatorship began increasing after a seven-year decline in the number of people publicly killed.

That's just the official executions. No one is counting the North Koreans who die the result of famine, floods and other natural disasters, being political prisoners, and other assorted causes that were all the result of Kim Jong-Il's policies. Those North Koreans were just as easily executed as the factory manager.
