China executes 'mafia' mining tycoon
Source: BBC News via MSN
Chinese authorities have executed powerful Sichuan-based mining tycoon Liu Han, state media say.
The former chairman of Hanlong Group was sentenced to death in May for "leading mafia-style crime and murder".
Liu's younger brother, Liu Wei and three other associates were also executed, Xinhua said, after China's top court signed off on the move.
Liu is believed to have had links to former security tsar Zhou Yongkang, who is currently being investigated.
