They finally got Kim Jong Nam, the first born son of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and half-brother of Kim Jong Un, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia in February. It has been reported that this was not the first time that an attempt was made on his life.
The victim had even once appealed to his half brother, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, to spare his life. He was not lucky enough, this time, to survive an elaborately organized plot making use of a nerve gas banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention.
