Frontline: The assassination of Kim Jong Un's Half-brother

[Duman]

Frontline on Tuesday had an episode describing the assassination of Kim Jong Un's half brother.
He was at the airport in Kuala Lumpur, two women rubbed a cloth over his face as a 'prank'.

Long story short, the cloth had VX nerve agent on it.

The time from exposure to death was only a few minutes.

Of course NK denied any involvement, even though their agents were seen in the airport at the time.

Not being a chemical guy, it seems like VX would be difficult to make unless it was state-sponsored.

Regardless of who was responsible, I see it as a net benefit to the human gene pool.

Not sure why the sawed off dictator would need to sponsor his assassination, being a dictator and all.

Or

The sawed off dictator is as crazy as we think he is and had him offed for all the crazy dictator reasons.

Or...




If you're unarmed you are a victim

VX is a binary liquid with each rag having one half on it.

VX is a liquid nerve agent, similar to Sarin, Soman, and Tabun. It's LD50 (Lethal Dose 50% of a population) is very low.

Nerve agents are similar to organophosphate pesticides (malathion, parathion and others)

Good news is they are relatively easy to treat.

Jong-Nam (older bro) was killed because he was against Jong-Un and family ran fiasco.
I believe there is one more older brother of Jong-Un somewhere.

Just had to go and impart some knowledge dint ya? Just enough to make me curious.

Always got something interesting to post, distract me from making fun of the sawed off dictator.

Thanks BTW, the article I googled about VX was interesting.

Under cross-examination, Raja said it wasn't possible that the VX used to kill Kim was a "binary" concoction of two non-fatal elements as high temperature would be required to create VX.

Sometimes your family is your worst enemy. And third world forensics is spotty at best. And he definitely won't be discussing his brother with the various intelligence agencies. Poor bastard should have just stayed home.
