SEOUL: South Korea is using giant loudspeakers to blast news of the dramatic assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother across the border with its reclusive northern neighbour, it was reported Thursday. Kim Jong-nam - the eldest son of the North's late leader Kim Jong-il - died on Feb 13 after being attacked by two women at a Kuala Lumpur International Airport in what is suspected to be a murder planned by Pyongyang. "Kim Jong-nam... died after being attacked by two unidentified women at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia," blared the message from the speakers and replayed by the TV station. "Malaysian authorities said four suspects are North Korean nationals including one who has been arrested," it said. North Korean state media Thursday broke its 10-day silence on the murder, launching a ferocious assault on Malaysia for its "immoral" handling of the case and for playing politics with the corpse.
