Malaysia summons N Korea envoy as diplomatic row deepens

Kuala Lumpur

MALAYSIA summoned the North Korean ambassador on Monday for a dressing down over Pyongyang's attack on its investigation into the assassination of leader Kim Jong Un's brother, deepening a diplomatic row.

Five North Koreans are in the frame for last week's airport killing, drawing a furious response from Pyongyang which has accused Kuala Lumpur of conspiring with "hostile forces" to damage its reputation.
