http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/report-n-korean-official-executed-staged-traffic-accidents-155745223.htmlA new Amnesty International report paints a gruesome picture of summary executions, torture and ill-treatment in North Korea as Kim Jong Un succeeded his late father, Kim Jong Il, as the country's ruler last December.
The country used firing squads or staged traffic accidents to execute 30 officials involved in talks to unite North and South Korea, according to the 2012 Amnesty International report released Thursday. It also notes that the country had been questioned about another 37 reported executions between 2007 and 2010 for "financial crimes."

Kind of makes one wonder if the U.S. should rethink how it deals with North Korea. At least with Jong Il it was dealing with the Mad Doctor but now it seems the patients are in charge of this place and there is no way to reason with them.
One question. How does one stage a Car accident to execute someone?

official intentionally rammed by government assassin, acts the victim, starts a fight, kills the official, and is admonished in court, deeming his actions as 'in self defense'.

And you've got a competitive bid coming from the CIA, too.

Found dead. Traffic statistic, dictator style.

Might go with Smother, drive into water "died of drowning, Mrs Lee"; or hammer, car "going too fast Mrs Park"
But these are unlikely; let's face it who will investigate?

They let the condemned person out of a car about a kilometer from his home, tell him to walk home and "say goodbye to your family," then run him over.
