North Korea's army chief has been relieved of all his posts due to illness, state media said Monday, in a surprise development that removes one of new leader Kim Jong-Un's inner circle.

Ri Yong-Ho is regarded as one of the key figures who has helped support the young, untested leader in the transition following the death in December of his father Kim Jong-Il, the longtime dictator of the reclusive state.

Ri, 69, who became head of the army in 2009 with the official title Chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, has often been seen accompanying Jong-Un on visits to military bases in recent months.

The North's official KCNA news agency said a meeting of top officials from the ruling party on Sunday took the decision to relieve him of his posts.

"A meeting of the political bureau of the central committee of the workers' party decided to relieve Ri Yong-ho of all his posts for his illness," it said.

Yes, a bullet in the head would definitely impair his ability to make decisions.
Well, that's one less that we or the South Koreans will have to kill.
