Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un who was allegedly assassinated in Malaysia in 2017, had been an informant for the Central Intelligence Agency, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

The Journal cited an unnamed “person knowledgeable about the matter” and said that many details of Kim Jong Nam’s relationship with America’s foreign spy agency remained unclear.
