N. Korean leader's half-brother killed in Malaysia: source
SEOUL, Feb. 14 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother has been killed in Malaysia, a government source said Tuesday.
Kim Jong-nam was assassinated on Monday in Malaysia, the source said without revealing details.
Cable TV broadcaster TV Chosun reported that Kim was killed at an airport in Malaysia after being attacked by two unidentified female agents with "poisoned needles." The suspects fled the scene and Malaysian police suspected North Korea was behind the killing.
If confirmed, Kim's case would mark the most high-profile death under the Kim Jong-un regime since the execution of Jang Song-thaek in December 2013, the once-powerful uncle of the current leader.
Kim Jong-nam is the eldest son of late former leader Kim Jong-il and is living in a foreign country without holding any official title. He was born from his father's nonmarital relationship with Sung Hae-rim, a South Korean-born actress who died in Moscow.
P!
Given the usual way of offing NK officials, that was positively humane
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Kim Jong-un did it..
Kim Jong-un has sure been a busy guy.....
Female assassins
Poison
Very DPRK
So now who is the next heir to the North Korean throne? I wouldn’t want to be that person.
We get lots of pictures from the NORKs of Kim pointing at things. We we get one of him in the lab pointing at the needles used to off his half-brother?
No yelling “Allah Akbar?”

I bet he really wanted to go too.

Love the high-heeled pumps! Seriously, I’m surprised that photo was released without first retouching the lifts.
Antiaircraft guns!
The problem is they were able to get access. Malaysia has a North Korean embassy.
Socialism turns into Communism.
And for some reason Communism leads into the establishment of defacto aristicratic royal families.
And aristocratic royality is why we had our revolution.
It’s kind of a worm orobus thing.
Check out the lifts on Kim Jong-il. He’s guilty of heightening!

The victim was supposedly more open to developing N. Korea along Chinese lines —ie, more capitalism, less isolation.
China apparently favored him for the succession instead of the current NK leader.
There may or may not have been a coup in the works, which
had him waiting in the wings; but that is all speculation.
