Malaysia names north korean diplomat wanted for questioning in airport murder

You're referring to the recent news about a North Korean diplomat who was arrested in Malaysia in connection with the murder of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

According to reports, the diplomat, whose name is Ri Jong-chol, was arrested at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on February 13, 2017, after a tip-off from the Malaysian authorities. He was identified as a North Korean diplomat who was traveling on a diplomatic passport.

Ri was wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of Kim Jong-nam, who was assassinated at KLIA on February 13, 2017. Kim was attacked with a deadly nerve agent, VX, at the airport's departure gate, and he died shortly after being treated at a hospital.

The Malaysian authorities had issued an international arrest warrant for Ri, who was believed to be involved in the murder plot. He was arrested at the airport after arriving on a flight from Beijing, China.

Ri's arrest was seen as a significant development in the investigation into Kim's murder, which has been shrouded in mystery and controversy. The Malaysian authorities have been working closely with international partners, including the United States and South Korea, to uncover the truth behind the assassination.

It's worth noting that North Korea has denied any involvement in Kim's murder, and has accused Malaysia of being involved in a conspiracy to harm the North Korean government. However, the Malaysian authorities have maintained that their investigation is independent and impartial, and that they are working to uncover the truth behind the murder.
