Kim Jong Un's half brother was reportedly a CIA source

[Market Watch] WASHINGTON ‐ Kim Jong Nam, the slain half brother of North Korea’s leader, was an informant for the Central Intelligence Agency who met on several occasions with agency operatives, a person knowledgeable about the matter said.

"There was a nexus" between the U.S. spy agency and Kim, the person said.

Kim, the half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was killed in Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia in February 2017, when two women smeared his face with the nerve agent VX. U.S. and South Korean officials have blamed the attack on North Korea, which it denies.

Many details of Kim’s relationship with the CIA remain unclear. Several former U.S. officials said the half brother, who had lived outside of North Korea for many years and had no known power base in Pyongyang, was unlikely to be able to provide details of the secretive country’s inner workings.

They also said Kim ‐ who resided mainly in the Chinese enclave of Macau ‐ was almost certainly in contact with security services of other countries, particularly China’s. The CIA declined to comment. Chinese officials didn’t respond to a request for comment. The fact that the CIA held meetings with the North Korean leader’s exiled half brother illustrates the lengths U.S. intelligence will go to gather information about the hermetic country.

An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com.

Being a double-agent/NORK leader in waiting, is a tough life, then suddenly it isn't. Perhaps the Fethullah Gulen security detail should be given a review.
