North Korean army officer said to be executed by regime

senior North Korean military leader has been executed for "factionalism, misuse of authority and corruption," a South Korean government official with knowledge of North Korean affairs told CNN Thursday.

The official, who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity, declined to give further details on how or when General Ri Yong-gil, chief of the North Korean Army's general staff, was executed.

the move appeared to be a show of strength by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Ri's execution is the latest in a string of high-profile officials that have been purged in a dramatic fashion.

"It is another way for Kim Jong Un to show he is in power. He is still young, and still learning who is on his side and who is not," said Kang.

The general is the latest in a line of disgraced officials who have been executed by Kim's regime.

In May of last year, Hyon Yong-chol, the country's defense minister, was publicly executed after the regime accused him of treason. He was reportedly killed with an anti-aircraft gun.

Kim's uncle, Jang Song-thaek, was branded a "traitor for all ages," and executed in 2013.

"The people who are on the wrong side become disposable."

Obama just destroys them politically ,... for now..
