Kim body to be sent to N. Korea, Malaysians freed

The body of the assassinated half-brother of North Korea's leader will be sent to Pyongyang and nine Malaysians freed, Malaysia's prime minister said Thursday, ending a bitter feud between the two countries. Kim Jong-Nam was poisoned with the lethal nerve agent VX in a brazen Cold War-style assassination on February 13 in Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The murder triggered a diplomatic dispute between Malaysia and North Korea, which expelled each other's ambassadors and barred their citizens from leaving.
