Euna Lee and Laura Ling, Two US Reporters Moved to North Korean Capital for "Interrogation"

This was reported on this week and has now gotten worse Its possible they just wanted more bargaining chips to use the USA, or they could just be a paranoid hermit kingdom whose guards swooped up the reporters as part of their job.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Two U.S. journalists arrested last week by North Korean guards at the border with China have been moved to the capital Pyongyang and are being interrogated there, a newspaper said on Tuesday, quoting intelligence sources.

The arrest of the pair at the Tumen River came at a time of mounting tension on the Korean peninsula, with the North accusing the United States and South Korea of waging war exercises, while Pyongyang continued preparations to launch a long-range missile.

"We understand the two female reporters are staying at a guest house in the suburb of Pyongyang overseen by the Security Command (the North's intelligence agency) and are being interrogated," the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper quoted an intelligence source as saying

Of course Roxana Saberi is still being held by the Iranians.
