Sankei: Kim Jong-nam’s Son Arrived in the U.S.

Multiple Chinese news sources (such as Duowei and China.com) republished a report from the major Japanese newspaper Sankei on the whereabouts of Kim Han-sol, who is the son of Kim Jong-nam. Kim Jong-nam, who was recently murdered in Malaysia, is the brother of the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Sankei reported that, according to a representative of the South Korean Abductees Family Association, Kim Han-sol has arrived the United States. The report indicated that Kim Han-sol started from Macau and stopped in Indonesia before coming to the United States. Earlier, he posted his passport online and confirmed his father had been murdered. He also said he was with his mother and sister. Unconfirmed reports suggested that the organization that offered protection to Kim Han-sol obtained significant help from the government of the Netherlands. However, the spokesperson of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to comment on this matter.
