The eldest son of North Korea's Dear Leader Kim Jong Il died in Malaysia at age 45. Kim Jong Nam was once famously quoted as saying the North Korean regime was as “a joke to the outside world.” Police suspect foul play.

Making statements like that in North Korea is not conducive to a long and healthy life.

That image needs a font that can distinguish between a capital I and a lower-case L. On first glance, it looks they've got an awful lot of "Seconds" in that family tree.

The capital I is marginally thicker than the lower-case L. --Bob

This case gets stranger. According to police, an Indonesian woman who was arrested for the killing was told that she was taking part in a Reality-TV show prank. She was paid money to participate in the show Just for Laughs, which is apparently an actual TV show in Indonesia. She and another woman persuaded men to close their eyes and they would spray the target with water. Kim Jong Nam was the last target and he got a different type of spray.

Wonder what sort of ratings that episode will get.

Kim Jong Un's assassinated half-brother had contacts with CIA: Report
President Trump wrote:I just received a beautiful letter from Kim Jong Un, and I think the relationship is very well, but I appreciated the letter. I saw the information about the CIA with respect to his brother or half-brother, and I would tell him that would not happen under my auspices. That’s for sure, I wouldn’t let that happen under my auspices. But I just received a beautiful letter from Kim Jong Un. I can’t show you the letter, obviously, but it was a very personal, very warm, very nice letter. I appreciate it. And I’ll say it again: I think that North Korea has tremendous potential, and he’ll be there. I think that North Korea under his leadership, but North Korea, because of what it represents: the people are great, the land is great, the location is incredible between Russia, China, and South Korea — I think North Korea has tremendous potential, and the one that feels that more than anybody is Kim Jong Un — he gets it.
Who says diplomacy is passé? If you don't want the CIA to spy on your dictatorship, just ask Trump nicely.
