WASHINGTON – Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un who was killed in Malaysia in 2017, was a CIA informant, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Citing “a person knowledgeable about the matter”, the paper said Kim Jong Nam had met with CIA operatives several times.
Kim Jong Nam, who was once seen as heir apparent to the North’s leadership, died after having his face smeared with the outlawed VX nerve agent as he waited at Kuala Lumpur airport.
