Kim deal chance for N.Korea to bury murder evidence: analysts

North Korea's retrieval of the body of the assassinated half brother of leader Kim Jong-Un is aimed at destroying evidence of the regime's involvement in the brutal killing, analysts say. Kim Jong-Nam was killed with the lethal nerve agent VX on February 13 in a Kuala Lumpur airport, in a brutally clinical operation which removed a potential claimant to the Kim throne -- he was late leader Kim Jong-Il's first-born -- who was an embarrassment to Pyongyang. The murder triggered a diplomatic row between Malaysia and North Korea, which expelled each other's ambassadors and barred their citizens from leaving.
