North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's brother has been assassinated in Malaysia, South Korean media reports.

Kim Jong-nam was killed at Kuala Lumpur airport after being attacked by two women with "poisoned needles," according to local TV reports.

The two women, believed to be North Korean agents, escaped in a taxi and remain at large, TV Chosun reported.

Yonhap News, citing a South Korean government source, also reported Mr Kim had been killed.

Malaysian police told Reuters an unidentified North Korean man died en route to hospital from a Kuala Lumpur airport.

The police said the man's identity had not been verified.

An employee in the emergency ward of Putrajaya hospital told the agency a deceased Korean there was born in 1970 and surnamed Kim.

Mr Kim went into hiding in Malaysia after the execution in December 2013 of his uncle, Jang Song-thaek, the once-powerful uncle of the current leader.

He was known to spend a significant time outside the country and had spoken out publicly against his family's dynastic control of the isolated state

The eldest son of Kim Jong-il, he survived an assassination attempt in Macau in 2011.

Mr Kim was born from his father's non-marital relationship with Sung Hae-rim, a South Korean-born actress who died in Moscow.

While he was widely seen as the hermit kingdom's heir apparent, he fell out of favour after being detained while trying to enter Japan on a forged passport.

He told authorities he wanted to visit Disneyland with his family.

North and South Korea are yet to officially comment on the reports.

If confirmed, Mr Kim's case would mark the most high-profile death under the Kim Jong-un regime since the execution of Jang Song-thaek.

Police official Fadzil Ahmat told Reuters the cause of Mr Kim's death has not yet been confirmed, but said a post mortem would be carried out on the body.

"So far there are no suspects, but we have started investigations and are looking at a few possibilities to get leads," Mr Fadzil said.

Well done Kim, kill or "disappear" all your opponents and even relatives who dare make any criticism whatsoever against your terror regime. . I have to admit that was a clean operation though. Give credit when due.

The case is under investigation. Till now only sudden death is reported. He was not in any confrontation with Kim so I find no reason to blame Kim but could have been western Agencies behind this.

Pakistan can learn a lesson or two from how other countries take out problems irrespective of where they reside in the world.

If only UK and USnhad invested half of time and efforts they did for invasion in Iraq for non existent WMD, the world could be safer from lunacy of uncle Kim

 

[jian-10]

More Hollywood comical villainy from porky Kim Jong Un. The Pentagon could never have come up with a more comically evil dictator if they tried. The loony Kim Regime is a gift to US imperialist interest in Asia.

U.S/U.K wouldn't have done that anyway. Remember China and Russia are N.Korea's security guarantor and the reason Kims N.Korea even exist in the first place? Lol So they(and Soviet Russia) can keep Kim regime for themselves. It actually helps U.S interests in the region and the U S KNOWS THIS. So the U.S will never invade N.Korea even though publicly they will keep making remarks that might make you think otherwise.
Moreover, if the U.S/U.K/West had ever intervened to topple Kim, I'm 100% sure you people will be the first to cry and complain about U.S/western imperialism and saying how at least N.Korea was stable and peaceful during Kim's reign.lol .

DPRK leader's half-brother killed in Malaysia: media
(Xinhua) 20:59, February 14, 2017

The half-brother of top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong Un has been killed in Malaysia, South Korean cable news channel TV Chosun reported on Tuesday citing multiple government sources.

Kim Jong Nam, the older half-brother of the DRPK leader and the eldest son of late leader Kim Jong Il, has been found dead in Kuala Lumpur early Monday, the Chosun TV said.

He has been based outside the DPRK since he was caught trying to enter Japan on a fake passport in 2001.
Multiple South Korean government sources were quoted as saying that the half brother seemed to have killed at a Kuala Lumpur airport at about 9 a.m. Malaysian time (0100 GMT) Monday.

Yonhap news agency reported that South Korea's foreign and unification ministries declined to confirm the killing.

********

But the South Korean officials declined to confirm.
