“There was a nexus” between the US spy agency and Kim Jong-nam, the source said on Monday. Kim Jong-nam was killed in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia in February 2017, when two women smeared his face with the nerve agent VX. They also said Kim Jong-nam, who resided mainly in Macau, was almost certainly in contact with security services of other countries, particularly China’s. Malaysia in May released from prison a Vietnamese woman, Doan Thi Huong, who was charged in Kim Jong-nam killing. Kim Jong-nam was Kim Jong-il’s eldest son, and for a while it appeared he was being groomed to succeed him.
