Report: North Korea recalls ambassador to Malaysia


PETALING JAYA (AFP): North Korea's ambassador to Malaysia, a relative of leader Kim Jong-un, has been recalled just days after the young supremo's uncle was apparently ousted in a leadership purge, according to a report.

The South's National Intelligence Service (NIS) told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday that it believed Kim's uncle and political regent Jang Song Thaek had been removed and two associates executed.
