KUALA LUMPUR: Wisma Putra said on Friday it strongly condemned the use of the toxic nerve agent VX, which authorities say was used to kill the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at Kuala Lumpur International airport last month.

Kim Jong-nam, 45, (pic) was murdered on Feb 13 at the airport's budget terminal with the VX nerve agent, a chemical classified by the United Nations as a weapon of mass destruction.
