DPRK to try US journalists as launch nears
SEOUL: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said yesterday it would put on trial two US journalists arrested this month on its border with China.
It accused the two women reporters, Laura Ling and Euna Lee from the US-based media outlet Current TV, of unspecified "hostile acts".
Pyongyang's announcement comes just days before it plans to put a satellite into space. Washington and others say it will be a test of a long-range missile.
