Seoul, South Korea (AP) — North Korea has detained another American citizen accused of committing unspecified hostile acts against the country.
The country’s official Korean Central News Agency said Kim Hak Song was detained Saturday and that “a relevant institution is now conducting detailed investigation into his crimes.”
He worked at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, the same workplace as another American, accounting instructor Kim Sang Dok, whose detention was announced last Wednesday. The KCNA didn’t say whether the two cases are connected.
The university said in a statement early Monday that Kim Hak Song was doing agricultural development work at an experimental farm. It said his detention was not related to his work at the university and therefore it could not comment further.
In Washington, the State Department said it was aware of the report of the new detention and that “the security of U.S. citizens is one of the department’s highest priorities.”
Kim Sang Dok, the former accounting instructor at the Pyongyang university, was arrested at the Pyongyang International Airport on April 22, the KCNA said. It said he was “intercepted for committing criminal acts” to overthrow the North’s government, but didn’t elaborate. more

I don’t see any Americans. I see two more Korean mouths for the Norks to feed. Willing hostages don’t move me a nanometer.
“detained another American citizen accused of committing unspecified hostile acts against the country”
what was his hostile act, leaving ?
“was arrested at the Pyongyang International Airport”
How on Earth can anyone with American citizenship be dumb enough to go live in North Korea?
We’re willing to trade. Let’s give them Obomo, Hillary & Schumer.
How did they get there? Why would anyone go there? Is it legal to go? Didn’t they know what they were getting into? It seems to me they assumed the risk.
Hmm. Let’s see. I got a job offer in a country that hogs the news headlines with threats to blow up my country. Should I stay or should I go?
IF they come out alive, they won’t be liberals any more.
Who the fuck in their right mind voluntarily visits a communist shithole?
I know, Dennis Rodman, but that excludes the “right mind” thing.
