MALAYSIAN police probing the killing of the half-brother of North Korea's leader arrested a woman on Wednesday as they tried to unravel a Cold War-style assassination the South said was carried out by Pyongyang's agents.
As Seoul pointed the finger at poison-wielding female spies from north of their shared border, the police in Kuala Lumpur said that they were holding a woman with a Vietnamese passport. Her arrest came around 24 hours after news broke of the death of Kim Jong-nam, the elder sibling of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, with reports saying female assassins had sprayed toxins in his face at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
