“NKorea sentences 2 US journalists to 12 years jail”
By VIJAY JOSHI – 32 minutes ago
SNIPPET: “SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said its top court convicted two U.S. journalists and sentenced them to 12 years in labor prison Monday, intensifying the reclusive nation’s confrontation with the United States.
The North’s Central Court tried American TV reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee during proceedings running from last Thursday to Monday and found them guilty of a “grave crime” against the nation, and of illegally crossing into North Korea, the country’s state-run Korean Central News Agency said.
It said the court “sentenced each of them to 12 years of reform through labor.” The KCNA report gave no other details.
Ling and Lee — who were working for former Vice President Al Gore’s California-based Current TV — cannot appeal because they were tried in North Korea’s highest court, where decisions are final.”

N. Korea may use mobile radar before long-range missile launch: source
By Sam Kim
SEOUL, June 8 (Yonhap) — South Korean officials believe North Korea may deploy a mobile radar shortly before test-firing a long-range ballistic missile it is apparently assembling on its west coast, a source said Monday.
Such a step would mean the North could avoid setting up radar at the base, avoiding foreign surveillance.
