[h=1]Kim Jong-un’s Half Brother Is Reported Assassinated in Malaysia[/h]

SEOUL, South Korea — The estranged half brother of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, was assassinated in Malaysia this week, South Korean news outlets reported on Tuesday, citing an unidentified government source.

 

The half brother, Kim Jong-nam, 45, was killed by two women who attacked him with poison needles at a Kuala Lumpur airport on Monday, TV Chosun, South Korea’s all-news channel, reported without identifying its source. The news agency Yonhap also reported the killing, without confirming any of those details.

 

TV Chosun said that the women fled in a taxi after the attack and that the local police were searching for them.

 

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service and its Unification Ministry said they could not immediately confirm the report.

 

Reports of the killing come amid a period of turmoil in the upper ranks of North Korea’s leadership. The chief of the North’s powerful secret police, long considered the right-hand man for Kim Jong-un, was recently dismissed on charges of corruption and abuse of power, according to the South Korean government.

It will be interesting to see how Kim Jong-Un responds to this, given the fact that his half brother was originally the first in line to succeed their father.

 

Could make for an even more shaky situation amongst the ASEAN nations.

Death by poison needles sounds like Hollywood stuff.

" killed by two women who attacked him with poison needles "

 

I bet no one seen this coming.

Definitely. Almost as "James Bond" as the Bulgarian dissident who was killed in England back in the 70's by an assassin who jabbed him in the leg with an umbrella that had the tip tricked out with a little pellet filled with ricin.

Let's not be too hasty in looking for North Korea's hand in this. Has anybody checked on his wife and two mistresses today?

I guess he got the point.

You mean:

 

"The chief of the North’s powerful secret police, long considered the right-hand man for Kim Jong-un, was recently dismissed on charges of corruption and abuse of power, according to the South Korean government."

 

Dismissed. So is that their euphemism for "beheaded"?

Dismissed. So is that their euphemism for "beheaded"?

 

Or ... dismissed because he would not assassinate Kim Jong-nam?

" killed by two women who attacked him with poison needles "

 

I bet no one seen this coming.

 

"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition !"

I just heard a few minutes ago, that they sprayed or misted him with something. Seems unlikely they would do it that way, as they could easily get others.

Wiped a cloth or something on his face containing VX nerve agent...:scared:

 

Kim Jong Nam killed with a highly toxic VX nerve agent, police say

 

FWIW for those that don't know...with 0.00035 oz of VX being a lethal dose, there is more than enough sitting in a field in Madison County to kill every person in the country maybe the planet.

So it takes 0.00035 oz of that to kill someone...if you're the sap who's dumping that onto a rag and trying to hold it over someone's face to kill them, you'd better be careful.
