China probes top official in powerful ministry
BEIJING Fri Dec 20, 2013 8:03am EST
(Reuters) - China's vice minister of public security is under investigation for "suspected serious law and discipline violations", the Communist Party's anti-graft watchdog said on Friday.
No further details were given about the probe into Li Dongsheng, who is also vice head of a central government group responsible for handling cults.
The term "serious discipline violations" normally refers to corruption, and the news about Li comes as speculation swirls about the country's former domestic security tsar Zhou Yongkang.
