KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—Security footage has emerged of the killing of Kim Jong Nam last week, showing two attackers took less than three seconds to carry out the assault on the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
The video clips from security cameras were obtained by a Japanese media outlet and posted by a third party on YouTube. The video has since been removed from YouTube.
