he older half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been killed in Malaysia by two female agents with “poison needles,” South Korean media outlets reported Tuesday.

The reports — which could not immediately be verified — said Kim’s half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, was attacked at Kuala Lumpur airport Monday by two women who fled the scene in a taxi, according to reports on South Korea’s TV Chosun and Korea Broadcasting System.

Both outlets cited an unidentified government source describing the death of the 45-year-old, who was once considered the next in line for power but apparently fell from favor after trying to enter Japan on a fake Dominican Republic passport to visit Tokyo Disneyland.

"I think the two female spies were dispatched by North Korea,” a government official told the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper, adding that “they fled in a taxi right after the crime.”

Take note of the method, its success, and prepare for it to be used again elsewhere in the world on others.

Shootings. Hungry dogs. Poisoned needles. You have to give the Kim boy points for creativity.

Lil’ Kim was maybe anticipating a coup from within the family?

How does a NORK expect to pass for a Dominican, anyway?
