| SUWON, South Korea, March 18 -- A North Korean woman has been arrested in Seoul after posing as a defector and engaging in espionage activities under threat from Pyongyang's spy agency, according to prosecutors here Monday. The 43-year-old woman, whose identity is withheld, entered South Korea in August of last year by disguising herself as a North Korean defector. But she was unable to engage in any actual spying because she was arrested during a routine investigation of newly-arrived defectors. |
