SEOUL, June 4 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's highest court will begin trial of two
U.S. journalists at 3 p.m., the official Korean Central News Agency said
Thursday.

"The Central Court of the DPRK will start a trial of American journalists Laura
Ling and Seung-eun Lee from 3 p.m. Thursday on the basis of the indictment
already brought against them," the one-sentence report said.
The female reporters were detained on the border with China on March 17. North

hostile acts.
