Killed with a chemical weapon
The police have confirmed that the older stepbrother of the young North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un was poisoned with an extremely toxic substance called VX, which acts very quickly.
Malaysian police have discovered that their poisoning, which took place last week at the Kuala Lumpur airport, was with a nervous agent called VX, a powerful chemical weapon capable of killing within minutes. Included by the UN in its list of weapons of mass and prohibited destruction since 1993 by the Chemical Weapons Convention, it is an oily amber liquid that or smell or taste, but it can penetrate the skin and stop the system nervous.
"If the amount of this chemical component was small, it would have been very difficult to detect," Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said Friday in announcing the results of tests carried out on Kim's corpse Jong-nam. To find this toxic agent, one of the most powerful in the world, forensic scientists have taken samples of the face and eyes, where two women sprayed it to Kim Jong-nam on Monday of last week while waiting to take a flight to Macau, his usual place of residence.
Although both washed their hands just after, which according to the police proves that they "were aware" of what they were doing, one of them fell ill and ended up vomiting.
All these indications, together with their long history of attacks and kidnappings, point directly to the Stalinist regime led by Kim Jong-un, who in 2013 already executed his uncle and regent in the shadow, Jang Song-thaek, so that no one would dispute him Its absolute power. With its usual propaganda rhetoric, North Korea denies responsibility for the crime and has accused Malaysia of organizing a conspiracy against it with South Korea, which has poisoned its diplomatic relations. In this serious crisis between the two countries, the Malaysian government has refused to return Kim Jong-nam's body to Pyongyang until all tests are completed and if his direct family does not claim it within two weeks.
