In this image taken from video made available on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un delivers an annual New Year’s Day message in Pyongyang, North Korea. Kim boasted Wednesday that North Korea enters the new year on a surge of strength because of the elimination of “factionalist filth” – a reference to the young leader’s once powerful uncle, whose execution last month raised questions about Kim’s grip on power.
