KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia plans to sweep Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) for toxic chemicals after Kim Jong-nam was murdered there with a nerve agent last week.
The teams involved include the police forensic team, the fire department and the Atomic Energy Licensing Board, the Malaysian police said in a statement on Saturday.
The sweep will be conducted from 1am on Sunday, Feb 26, the police said.
Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was killed on Feb 13 at the airport by VX nerve agent, classified by the United Nations as a weapon of mass destruction, Malaysian police said on Friday. --REUTERS
