Kim Jong-nam was almost certainly murdered by North Korean agents, according to intelligence officials in South Korea, as suspicions mount that his assassination at Kuala Lumpur airport was ordered by his estranged half-brother, the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un.

No decision has been taken on whether the body of Kim Jong Nam will be handed over to North Korea, the sources added. Tiếp tục đọc “North Korean officials objected to autopsy on Kim Jong Nam’s body: Source”
