SEPANG: The KL International Airport 2 (KLIA2) has been declared a safe zone after a screening by police, Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) and Fire and Rescue Department. This follows after a Chemistry Department analysis found that the VX Nerve agent was used in the murder of Kim Jong-nam, estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, at KLIA2 on Feb 13. When asked, Comm Abdul Samah said the staff at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur have also been briefed to take extra precautions when in contact with the body of the victim. Comm Abdul Samah said police were still probing if the nerve agent was manufactured in Malaysia or smuggled in. On the North Korean Embassy staff being investigated, he said police have requested with the embassy for their cooperation.
