Sources close to the failed plan to kill North Korea's Im Jong-Un say it was set to echo the death of Kim's half brother with a nerve agent just months earlier

North Korea's Kim Jong-Un was almost assassinated in a twisted plot which would have reportedly seen South Korea and the USA team up and kill him with a biochemical weapon, it has been claimed.

Sources close to the failed plan, which was allegedly set to be topple the dictator in 2017, say it was set to echo the death of Kim's half brother with a nerve agent just months earlier. It was even joked about by Kim when he met the CIA director months later. CIA director Mike Pompeo secretly met the North Korean leader, two months before Kim and Donald Trump’s notorious 2018 summit.
