Kim Jung Un sure knows how to roll. The boy has this dictator thing down pat. First he kills off Uncle Next in Line and now his older half-sib is assassinated in Macau. Damn.
Once considered the successor to his father, Kim Jong Il, the 45-year-old Kim Jong Nam had been living incognito in exile in Macau, reportedly under the protection of the Chinese government. Although he disavowed any continued interest in the leadership, North Korea watchers invariably raised his name as a potential replacement in the case of a coup d’etat against Kim Jong Un.
...He was reported by South Korea’s TV Chosun to have collapsed at the Kuala Lumpur airport about 9 a.m. Monday after being attacked by two women armed with poisoned needles who later fled in a taxi.
