        Top Pyongyang Official Sent for 'Re-education' Over Power Plant

   by VOA News

   North Korea's leader is believed to have sent one of his top aides to a
   farm for "re-education" over the poor construction of a power plant
   near the North Korean border with China.

   South Korean lawmakers gave reporters the news Tuesday after it was
   reported by South Korea's National Intelligence Service in a closed
   session.

   Choe Ryong-hae, a top advisor to leader Kim Jong Un, is reported to
   have been sent away earlier this month. Questions had risen about his
   status after his name was left off the attendance list for a state
   funeral for a military marshal in early November.

   Kim earned a reputation for ruthlessness after the execution of his
   uncle Jang Song-thaek, a high-ranking official, in December 2013 on
   charges of treason and corruption.
