Video allegedly shows attack on Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur airport

PETALING JAYA – It does not look like an innnocent prank.

A video has emerged on YouTube showing what looks like the attack on Kim Jong-nam at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) last Monday.

The slightly over five-minute clip shows a man resembling Jong-nam, wearing a light blue jacket and slacks with a backpack, walking into the airport lobby and looking at the flight schedule before approaching the self check-in kiosk.

The check-in area seems to be fairly crowded and two women then show up from opposite directions.

The woman with shoulder-length hair approaches Jong-nam with what could be a cloth or a hood and lunges from behind, reaching over his head and covering his face with the cloth. The woman resembles Doan Thi Huong, who was later arrested as a suspect.

It takes only seconds and both women walked back to the directions they came from.

The woman who was seen attacking him glances back furtively as she walked quickly away from the scene.

People at the check-in area all seemed oblivious to the attack.

Jong-nam appears to be stunned by the attack and is seen walking swiftly to an information counter and speaking to two personnel there — a man and a woman.

The woman takes him to another part of the building where two policemen in uniform listen to his complaints.

He is seen gesturing with both hands to his face and seemed to be telling the policemen about the attack.

Although he kept pointing to his face, he looks unharmed.

The two policemen then walked with him to the airport clinic.

Jong-nam appeared to walk normally and did not need any help. The clip ends as he walks into the clinic.

Hours later, he was reported to have died on his way to hospital.
