Wow. Kim Jong-un’s half-brother really had a bad Monday. Apparently, two women are suspected; however, it seems they also met their demise in Malaysia.
Interesting note from the last link is that Big Brother (couldn’t resist) was traveling on a passport with a fake name.
Poor devil.
*Smapti: I know. That’s why I said it’s interesting this time. You’d think he learned after the first time.
I guess Big Brother wasn’t watching.
From what I’ve heard, the poison cloth used to kill him disfigured his face so much that positive identification may be difficult without genetic testing.
Cue conspiracy theories that it was a body double that took the fall and the real Kim Jong-nam is hiding elsewhere.
Dominican? As is from Dominican Republic?
Or the Vatican… Dominican Order - Wikipedia
Learned what, though? Presumably he would not have been safer from assassination traveling under his own name.
I really thought they were just going to let him live a wealthy, playboy lifestyle. I didn’t think he was causing any harm to the regime.
Guess not. Kim Jong Un and his people certainly seem to be willing to kill just about anybody that could be perceived as even the most remote threat.
So what was in the cloth? Some face-eating acid? A neurotoxin or biotoxin of some sort, like you see on the TV show The Americans? How did the killers carry the cloth without killing themselves? Is there any security video? (Don’t need answer fast)
You know who else has an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…
that’s right, the Commonwealth of Dominica, the Zoidberg of all things named after the Day of the Lord.
There are some Chinese Dominicans.
It’s possible that he was meeting secretly with … I guess I don’t know who. North Korean diplomats? South Korean intelligence?
I guess some kind of nerve agent. The operatives would carry the antidote for themselves just in case. There is security camera footage of at least one of the supposed operatives (a woman). Some images can be seen here:
One woman has been arrested in Malaysia in relation to the assassination. We will see what happens…
I have read that Kim Jong Nam was under the protection of China. If this is the case… and if it was North Korea behind this… I think that the loss of face China would have been subjected to in this affair might have consequences down the line. China would be beyond “pissed off” at North Korea after this.
Just saw a news report about the killing. It seems one of the women was wearing a shirt with a large LOL on the front. Guess KJN didn’t realize that really means “Look Out, Lad!”
Another woman has been arrested, from Vietnam. The first woman was from Indonesia… strange connections.
Purportedly from.
Offed him, gangland style.
Putin Didn’t Do It! Nuh-Uh…!
Now here I would have thought than North Korean agents wouldn’t have a sense of humor.
Did the other one have one that said WTF?
