Media Korea Selatan terus menerus ambil peranan menyiasat kematian Kim Jong Nam

​
Media Korea Selatan semalam sekali lagi mengeluarkan berita yang menambah sensasi ke atas pembunuhan Kim Jung Nam di KLIA2 pada 13 Februari lalu. Semalam, agensi berita Yonhap memetik kenyataan seseorang yang didakwa mengetahui bahawa institut bioteknologi Korea Utara merupakan pihak yang bertanggungjawab atas pembunuhan tersebut.

Memetik kenyataan Choi Sung-young, yang menjadi wakil kumpulan yang ahli keluarga mereka diculik ke Korea Utara beberapa dekad lalu, Choi mendakwa terdapat petunjuk bahawa Kim Jong Un pada bulan Disember 2014 telah mengeluarkan perintah supaya Kim Jong Nam ditiadakan.

Menurut Choi, unit 810 tentera Korea Utara yang dikenali sebagai institut bioteknologi yang bertanggungjawab membangunkan kimia pertanian adalah pihak di belakang pembunuhan Kim Jong Nam.

Dia juga mendakwa unit tersebut telah menjalankan ujikaji racun tersebut ke atas 20 tahanan politik yang mempunyai berat badan 80 hingga 90 kg dalam persiapan untuk membunuh Kim Jong Nam.

Walaubagaimanapun, Choi tidak mendedahkan bagaimana dia mendapat maklumat tersebut dan kenyataannya tidak dapat disahkan benar.

Ia merupkan kali pertama institut bioteknologi Korea Utara dikaitkan dengan kematian Kim Jong Nam.

Agensi risikan utama Korea Selatan minggu lalu mendakwa biro risikan dan Kementerian Keselamatan  Dalam Negeri Korea Utara mungkin menjadi tulang belakang kepada pembunuhan tersebut.

N. Korea's biotechnology institute behind Malaysia killing: source

SEOUL, Feb. 22 (Yonhap) -- A North Korean biotechnology institute is involved in last week's killing of leader Kim Jong-un's half brother Kim Jong-nam in Malaysia, a person familiar with the matter claimed Wednesday.

"We got a tip that Kim Jong-un issued an order in December 2014 to remove Kim Jong-nam," said Choi Sung-young, who represents a group of South Koreans whose families were abducted to North Korea decades ago.

Choi said North Korea's military unit 810, which is also known as a biotechnology institute in charge of developing agricultural chemicals, was behind the killing of Kim Jong-nam.

He also claimed that the institute appears to have carried out a mock test on some 20 political offenders weighing 80-90 kilograms in preparation for killing Kim Jong-nam.

Kim Jong-nam, the eldest son of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, died on Feb. 13 after being attacked by alleged North Korean agents at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. He had been critical of his family's dynastic control of the reclusive North.

Choi did not provide details on how he obtained the information. His claim was not independently confirmed.

It is the first time a North Korean institute has been cited for involvement in the death.

South Korea's top spy agency said last week North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau and the ministry of state security may be behind the poison attack.
