Kim Jong Nam, the half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un who was killed in Malaysia in 2017, had been an informant for the CIA, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The Journal cited an unnamed "person knowledgeable about the matter" for the report, and said many details of Kim Jong Nam's relationship with the CIA remained unclear.
Reuters could not independently confirm the story. The CIA declined to comment.
