North Korea has identified Kim Jong-nam as Kim Chol, saying he held a diplomatic passport and rejecting Malaysia?s efforts to involve the victim?s family in identifying the body.
Pyongyang has refused to acknowledge that the man killed was Kim Jong-nam and has accused Malaysia of carrying out a politically motivated investigation.
PhotoKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia ? The Malaysian police said on Wednesday that a senior diplomat in the North Korean embassy was wanted for questioning in the killing of Kim Jong-nam, pointing to possible government involvement in the fatal poisoning of the estranged half brother of Kim Jong-un, North Korea?s leader.
The revelations are sure to escalate pressure on North Korea over a killing that South Korea has branded ?a terrorist attack? and to further inflame Malaysia?s relations with the North.
North Korea has called the Malaysian investigation into the killing and the autopsy politically motivated.
