Boxun reports that North Korea's government has confirmed arresting two female American journalists for illegally entering North Korean territory. According to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), two female American journalists were detained last week by North Korean soldiers on the border with China for entering Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) territory illegally. The news agency said that the case is still under investigation. One of the female journalists is Chinese American and the other is Korean American. They were apparently researching North Korean refugees fleeing the DPRK for China and were filming DPRK soldiers patrolling the border. When the women did not respond to warnings to stop filming, they were detained. South Korean reports claim that the women were on the Chinese side of the Tumen River border when they were seized. This would violate Chinese law. The women were reporting for former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore's Internet-based Current TV website. According to the U.S. State Department, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is actively investigating the circumstances behind the arrest of the two women. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang states that the Chinese side is investigating the case.
