Journalist who had close contact with Kim Jong Nam speaks out
Posted
One of the few journalists who ever had close contact with the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has spoken about his experiences with him. Yuji Gomi interviewed Kim Jong Nam for a total of seven hours and exchanged emails with him over the course of a number of years. Kim Jong Nam was murdered at an airport in Malaysia this week - leading some to suspect that North Korea was behind the assassination. Three people have been arrested over the murder, but at this stage it's not known if they have any links to North Korea.
