## Resource

On February 13, 2017, a man travelling under the name Kim Chol was approached by two women inside Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. CCTV captured one woman in a white “LOL” shirt approaching him before a substance was wiped across his face. Within minutes, the man became violently ill and died while being transported to hospital. The victim was soon identified as Kim Jong-nam, the estranged older half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and investigators discovered traces of VX, one of the world's deadliest nerve agents, on his face. In this episode of You Can't Unhear , we explore the shocking assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the strange hidden-camera prank operation that allegedly recruited Indonesian woman Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese woman Đoàn Thị Hương, the North Korean suspects who fled Malaysia, and the later reports connecting Kim Jong-nam to the CIA. Were the two women trained assassins, or were they carefully prepared as disposable pawns in one of the most brazen political killings ever captured on airport CCTV?
