WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un who was killed in Malaysia in 2017, had been an informant for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
The Journal cited an unnamed “person knowledgeable about the matter” for the report, and said many details of Kim Jong Nam’s relationship with the CIA remained unclear.
Reuters could not independently confirm the story. The CIA declined to comment.
The Journal quoted the person as saying “There was a nexus” between the CIA and Kim Jong Nam.
For some reason, I thought Kim Jong Nam was killed in 2016, not 2017. But this would be something Kim Jong Un would do, if he was following his predecessors’ example by causing some international incident as soon as a new US President is sworn in. Using a chemical weapon in an international airport certainly fits that bill.
Well, this is certainly interesting (to me, at least)
