BUMP.
Looks like Japan needs to settle down.
NK Spy Probe reaches National Assembly
Five people including an IT company president and an aide to the former National Assembly speaker have been arrested on charges of creating an underground political party at Pyongyang’s directive as part of a massive espionage probe involving dozens of politicians, scholars and labor activists, the prosecution said Friday.
According to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, a 48-year-old IT businessman, only identified as Kim, was arrested on charges of organizing an antistate group and carrying out espionage operations.
Among the four others arrested include a former aide to former National Assembly Speaker Lim Chae-jung of the Democratic Party. The prosecutors said Lim is not involved.
They have one screwed-up sense of priority. It seems that , in the midst of earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima crisis, they want to propel it as the most important issue. Talk about timing. Rising Chicom must be a less important problem for them.
Somebody needs to advise them there are better ways to settle this Japan/Korea issue. I can even think of some ways to bring the two sides together over it...its rather out of the box; but it is far superior than just flying over to the other side and showing up at their airport, hoping for a ringside seat at one of most sensitive bilateral locations for those two countries. (not taking sides here).
