A journalist waits in front of the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. The remarks follow reports Saturday that former North Korean ambassador to the United Nations Ri Tong-il has returned to the Malaysian capital. In addition to the three suspected accomplices in the North Korean embassy, the federal police chief said last week that the authorities believe that more North Koreans, including "an important person," are involved. Ri's first mission to Kuala Lumpur ended miserably, with Malaysia expelling Kang Chol after the latter refused to retract his remarks and apologise. A flurry of activity has been noted in the past two days as Ri was spotted back in Kuala Lumpur.
