North Korea says it detains American tourist in Rajin
North Korea announced the detention of an American citizen identified as Pae Jun Ho, also known as Kenneth Bae, a 44 year old Washington state tour operator. The state media said he arrived in Rajin on November 3 as part of a tour and that he confessed to unspecified crimes. Experts view him as a potential bargaining chip amid U.S. criticism over last week’s long range rocket launch. Five other detained Americans since 2009 were later released.
