[Comment under "Kim Jong-nam killed by VX nerve agent, a chemical weapon, say Malaysian police"]

How do we know this wasn't a foreign intelligence agency doing this brazen act to drive North Korea apart from one of it's few diplomatic allies, Malaysia, to isolate North Korea further.

What have the North Koreans said about the case? From what I can see they are denying all responsibility.

Four people of different nationalities have been arrested and seven North Koreans are wanted in connection with the attack. Malaysian police have not directly pinpointed North Korea as being behind the death.

On Thursday, North Korea accused Malaysia of having a “sinister purpose” and collaborating with South Korea over the killing. In the first report from state-run KCNA news agency since the attack, the government accused Malaysia of breaking international law by conducting autopsies on a diplomatic passport holder and withholding the body.

“This proves that the Malaysian side is going to politicise the transfer of the body in utter disregard of international law and morality and thus attain a sinister purpose,” it said.

It seems to make ZERO sense to anyone that thinks about this why North Korea would want to bring such negative attention to itself and drive itself further into isolation.

ZERO sense.

Cui bono? Who benefits from North Korea's isolation?
