(24 Feb 2017) The nerve agent used to kill Kim Jong Nam, the outcast half-brother of the North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, can kill a person within a minute of contact, a South Korean defence analyst told Associated Press on Friday.
Kim Chul Woo, a researcher at the Korea Institute for Defence Analysis in Seoul, said VX, the banned chemical weapon nerve agent apparently used during the attack on Kim, is more toxic than other nerve gases.
Malaysian police announced earlier on Friday that VX was used to kill Kim, who was attacked by two women who rubbed the substance on his face at Kuala Lumpur airport last week.
VX nerve agent, deadly even in minute amounts, was detected on Kim's eyes and face, Malaysia's inspector general of police said in a written statement, citing a preliminary analysis from the country's Chemistry Department.
