North Korea incident

Communist North Korea says Malaysia’s investigation into the death of the half brother of its leader is full of holes and contradictions.

Malaysian police have not named the North Korean government as being behind the death of Kim Jong Nam, but they are searching for several North Korean suspects.

Leader Kim Jong Un’s half brother was killed earlier this month at an airport in Kuala Lumpur.
