All Eyes on Kim Jong Un

Suspect in assassination of Kim Jong Un's half brother arrested in Malaysia.

Malaysian police said Wednesday they have arrested one of the two women suspected of killing Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half brother of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, who was killed Monday. Kim Jong Nam was attacked  in a shopping area at Kuala Lumpur airport as he waited to board a flight to Macau. He died on his way to hospital.

South Korea has pointed the finger of blame at Pyongyang, with the country's spy agency saying that two female assassins were responsible for killing the 45-year-old exile. Malaysian authorities said one of the suspects was arrested at Kuala Lumpur airport on Wednesday while carrying a Vietnamese passport identifying her as as Doan Thi Huong—born May 31, 1988. The Malaysian authorities are working with North Korean and Vietnamese officials to confirm the woman's identity.

The woman was "positively identified from the CCTV footage at the airport and was alone at the time of arrest," the police said in a statement. Earlier on Wednesday a local newspaper, the Malay Mail, published a photograph claiming to show one of the suspects. The picture shows a woman with short black hair wearing a white top with the letters "LOL" printed across the front.
