Cannibalism in North Korea

I'm always hearing bizarre news regarding North Korea -- the most isolated nation the world.  This latest story is something I found exceptionally interesting, er, disturbing.

Reports of cannibalism are surfacing in North Korea -- a nation suffering from widespread famine. "Asia Press" reports a North Korean man was put to death by firing squad after he ate two of his children. The man reportedly killed his daughter while his wife was away on business. He then killed his son -- a witness to the murder. When the wife came home, he offered her food, saying "we have meat." Another man reportedly dug up the corpse of his dead grandson to eat his flesh. Last spring, a drought wreaked havoc on crops in North Korea, causing a famine..and human rights groups estimate 10,000 people have died from starvation last year alone. The reports of cannibalism come at a time of renewed tension between North Korea and the United States. The country's leader Kim Jong Un recently started the U.S. was its sworn enemy and vowed to restart nuclear and long-range missile testing.
