KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian police say they will conduct a sweep of the terminal at Kuala Lumpur's airport where North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un's exiled half-brother was killed to check for possible traces of the toxic chemical suspected to have been used in the attack.
A police statement Saturday said the operation will start at 1 a.m. Sunday.
The sweep will involve officers from the police's chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear teams, as well as the hazardous materials unit under the fire department and the atomic energy board.
Since the Feb. 13 attack, tens of thousands of passengers have passed through Kuala Lumpur's airport. No areas were cordoned off and protective measures were not taken, though officials announced Friday that the facility would be decontaminated.
