Nerve agent ‘killed Kim within 15 minutes’

Malaysian officials are investigating Kim’s death after he was poisoned on February 13 at the airport in Kuala Lumpur.

CCTV footage aired by Fuji TV that went viral on the internet shows two women carrying out the attack.

A suspect in Kim Jong-nam’s murder partied the night before the killing to celebrate her future success as an Internet celebrity over a supposed planned prank.

Zahid did not give further comments when asked about the Malaysian companies behind an operation run by a North Korean intelligence agency here that sold military radio equipment.

Her friend, who is unnamed, reportedly said today that Aishah was duped.

Malaysian authorities have begun sweeping the airport terminal where North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un’s half brother was killed to check for possible traces of the nerve agent that was suspected to have been used in the attack.

Kim did not say how the North Korean suspect already in Malaysian custody, 46-year-old Ri Jong Chol, was involved.

South Korean officials said these latest five officials who were executed had worked in Kim Won Hong’s department.

North Korea has criticised Malaysia’s handling of the investigation of the case, which has threatened to spark a diplomatic row between the two countries.

He said the final autopsy report would be submitted to police soon.

However, North Korea has not acknowledged the death yet. “Things will get even more complicated for Pyongyang if its chemical weapons issues are thrown into the mix”, said Chang Yong Seok, an analyst at Seoul National University’s Institute for Peace and Unification Studies.

The spies had not said where their information was from but told the details to South Korean politician Lee Cheol Woo. South Korea has accused North Korea of orchestrating Kim’s death on behalf of the North’s leader Kim Jong Un.

The oily poison was nearly certainly produced in a sophisticated state weapons laboratory, experts say, and is banned under global treaties.

A liter of the nerve agent VX contains enough lethal doses, theoretically, to kill 1 million people.

“We strongly condemned North Korea for using a chemical weapon against a civilian”, Jeong Joon-hee, a ministry spokesman, told a press briefing. Teams swept the airport Sunday for any remaining toxic chemicals.

Malaysian authorities have not commented on the roles that any of the North Koreans played in the killing.

But he said one of them had suffered from the effects of the chemical and had been vomiting. “This might have been actually a field exercise for using (it)”.

The Malaysian government denounced North Korea’s condemnation as an insult and refuted it by contending that the probe was conducted fairly based on domestic law. It is believed to have enough fissile material for up to 10 nuclear bombs.

Destruction of chemical weapons stored at the depot near Stockton was completed almost a decade ago in compliance with the worldwide Chemical Weapons Convention.
