Pills fund Kim Jong-un’s nuclear missiles EVIL REGIME SELLS FAKE VIAGRA TO SOFT BRITS

Airport assassin got £72 to carry out lethal ‘prank’

-

A WOMAN who assassinat­ed North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s half brother was paid just £72 to attack him.

Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, claimed she was told to smear Kim Jong-nam’s face with “baby oil” for a reality show prank.

But tests showed Kim, inset, was contaminat­ed with the highly toxic nerve agent VX. He died shortly after the incident, involving two women, at the check-in hall at busy Kuala Lumpur Airport.

After meeting Aisyah yesterday, Indonesian Deputy Ambassador Andreano Erwin said: “She only said in general that somebody asked her to do this activity.

“She only said in general she met with some people who looked Japanese or Korean.

“According to her, that person gave her HELENE PERKINS 400 ringgits (£72) to do this. She only said she was given a kind of oil, like baby oil.” Aisyah, who worked in a massage parlour, carried out the attack along with Doan Thi Huong, 28. North Korean agents from a spy network known as The Third Floor are suspected to be behind the hit. Investigat­ors have described the women as the “lizard’s tail” in the operation, a term used to describe hired hands who can be easily discarded. Aisyah and Huong were last night still in custody. Malayasian caterer Muhammad Farid Bin Jalaluddin, 26, and North Korean Ri Jong Choi, 47, have also been arrested over 45-year-old Kim’s killing. North Korea has insisted it was not behind the attack. NORTH Korea is flooding the UK with fake Viagra to help pay for a deadly arsenal of nuclear weapons.

Hundreds of websites have been set up to sell counterfei­t versions of the drug.

But instead of improving sexual performanc­e the tablets can actually cause impotency and other serious side effects.

The pills sell online for as little as £2 each and have been bought in more than 100 countries, raking in £500million a year for the evil regime.

I n t e l l i gence sources said that North Korea is making a range of counterfei­t drugs, DVDs and banknotes to help fund its nuclear weapons programme.

The regime, run by despot Kim Jong-un, inset, is thought to be on the verge of test-firing a long-range missile which could hit the USA. Experts fear it is only a matter of time before it develops the technology to put a nuclear warhead on the rocket. Our intelligen­ce source said millions of the fake Viagra tablets are made by a slave labour force in a factory near the capital Pyongyang.

The drugs are tested on the workers, some of whom are said to have died from heart failure and breathing difficulti­es. The insider PATRICK WILLIAMS said: “Counterfei­ting is a state-funded enterprise in North Korea.

“They have no real exports so they manufactur­e lots of fake drugs and target Western markets.

“Viagra is one of their main drugs. Some versions have been found to contain some of the ingredient­s that are in real Viagra but North Korean Viagra has not been clinically tested so you have no idea what you are taking.”

Fake Viagra can cause “visual problems, fainting, dangerous changes in blood pressure and heart problems” the source said.

And it can make erectile dysfunctio­n worse. Our insider added: “People have complained that their penis size has reduced after taking the fake drug.”

Dr Tommy Dolan, from Viagra manufactur­ers Pfizer, said it is hard to tell fake pills from the genuine item as they are the same blue diamond shape and often branded with the firm’s logo.

It is believed people buy Viagra online because they are too embarrasse­d to ask their GP for it.

Also, the NHS will only issue four pills at a time.

Drugs regulators warned last year that organised crime gangs are moving from narcotics into the world of unlicensed medicines.
