Jane Onyanga-Omara , USA TODAY Published 4:54 a.m. ET Feb. 27, 2017
North Korea executed five senior security officials for making false reports that enraged leader Kim Jong Un, South Koreas Yonhap news agency reported Monday.
The five were killed with anti-aircraft guns, the National Intelligence Service said in a private briefing to lawmakers, according to the news agency. It wasnt immediately clear what the false reports were, but they appeared to be unrelated to the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half-brother of Kim Jong Un, two weeks ago.
Lawmaker Lee Cheol Woo said the officials worked in the department of the former state security chief Kim Won Hong, who was dismissed in January amid allegations of corruption and human rights abuses.
Lee said the firing of Kim Won Hong was linked to the false reports, which enraged Kim Jong Un when he discovered them.

Anyone who criticizes his new clothes will pay the same price.
