"The public poisoning of Kim Jong Nam, which took place Feb. 13 amid crowds of travelers at the airport, appeared to be a well-planned hit.
Though Kim Jong Nam was not an obvious political threat to his sibling, he may have been seen as a potential rival in the country`s dynastic dictatorship.
The revelation that VX nerve agent killed Kim has boosted speculation that North Korea had dispatched a hit squad to Malaysia to kill Kim, whose younger half brother is Kim Jong Un.
Kim was dead within hours of the attack, in which two women went up behind him and appeared to smear something onto his face.
North Korea, a prime suspect in the case, never signed that treaty, and has spent decades developing a complex chemical weapons program.
