File-This July 18, 2012, file photo shows Vice Marshal Hyon Yong Chol applauding during a meeting announcing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's new title of marshal, in Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korea has officially confirmed the purging of its defense chief two months after Seoul's spy service said he had been executed for disloyalty to leader Kim Jong Un, a South Korean official said Monday, July 12, 2015. South Korea's National Intelligence Service told lawmakers in May that People's Armed Forces Minister Hyon Yong Chol was killed by anti-aircraft gunfire for talking back to Kim, complaining about his policies and sleeping during a meeting.
