Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea’s leader, was killed by a highly toxic nerve agent, says Malaysia.<\/p>\n
Mr Kim died last week after two women accosted him briefly in a check-in hall at a Kuala Lumpur airport.<\/p>\n
Malaysian toxicology reports indicate he was attacked using “VX nerve agent”, which is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations.<\/p>\n
There is widespread suspicion that North Korea was responsible for the attack, which it fiercely denies.<\/p>\n
It responded furiously to Malaysia’s insistence on conducting a post-mortem examination and has accused Malaysia of having “sinister” purposes.<\/p>\n
Malaysia’s police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said on Friday that one of the women Mr Kim interacted with at the airport had also fallen ill with vomiting afterwards.<\/p>\n
He said the airport and areas the suspects are known to have gone to would now be cleaned.<\/p>\n
Who was Kim Jong-<\/strong>nam?<\/strong><\/p>\n
