The AP is reporting that, "North Korean diplomats have vacated their embassy in Malaysia and are preparing to leave the country after the two nations cut diplomatic ties in a spat over the extradition of a North Korean suspect to the U.S."

N. Korea accused Malaysia of "an unpardonable crime" and of "being subservient to the U.S. and its conspiracy against the hermit kingdom.

The North North denied the charges against its citizen and threatened that the US would “pay a due price.”
