Kim Jong Nam's body 'can be claimed soon'

KUALA LUMPUR • The body of Mr Kim Jong Nam, which is in the mortuary of Kuala Lumpur Hospital, could possibly be claimed over the next two weeks by the North Korean Embassy or by the country's leader, Mr Kim Jong Un, who is his kin, the New Sunday Times (NST) reported yesterday, quoting an unnamed source.

As the deceased has been positively identified by the Malaysian authorities as the estranged half- brother of Mr Kim Jong Un, "standard government protocols in handling an unclaimed body have kicked in", the newspaper said.

The daily also quoted a 2008 Ministry of Health circular that the unclaimed remains of a non-Muslim would be handed over to the relevant religious authority for final rites after 14 days.

This is a legal maneuver for a hostage swap: Kim Jong-nam's body for Malaysian hostages in Pyongyang. Things can become complicated if his son shows up, but that is unlikely to happen because the son is in hiding, fearing for his life.

Kim Jong-un’s hostage-taking pays off.

Heard this fake horoscope years ago.

If you’re a Taurean, it’s better to be a South Taurean than a North Taurean.
