Former N.K. pointman on Seoul said to be working at chicken farm

   SEOUL, Jan. 11 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's pointman on South Korea, who was earlier said to have been sacked for misjudgment, is said to be undergoing what sources called "severe" communist training at a chicken farm, sources here said Sunday.

Choe Sung-chol, once a vice chairman of the Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, the North's state organization handling inter-Korean affairs, was reported to have been dismissed in early 2008 for what sources called his misjudgment on South Korea's new conservative administration under President Lee Myung-bak.
