N. Korea's ex-No. 2 leader promoted to senior post after years of seclusion: sources
SEOUL, Nov. 21 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's former No. 2 leader has made a comeback as the country's chief internal security supervisor, sources here said Wednesday, possibly signaling Kim Jong-il's willingness to shake up his cabinet ahead of the country's planned nuclear dismantlement and subsequent social changes.
Jang Song-thaek, who disappeared from the North's political landscape in early 2004 following his criticism of the country's economic policy, has recently been promoted to first vice director of the administrative department of the ruling Workers' Party, the sources said, declining to be named.
