JAPAN-NKOREA-SPY
Sakie (R) and Shigeru Yokota, parents of abductee Magumi Yokota who was abducted by North Korean agents in 1977 at the age of 13, speak at a press conference after they met with former North Korean spy Kim Hyon-Hui (unseen) at Karuizawa, Nagano prefecture's mountain resort in central Japan on July 22, 2010. A former North Korean spy on July 21 met Japanese relatives of people abducted decades ago by agents of Pyongyang's communist regime. As a North Korean intelligence officer, Kim Hyon-Hui, 48, blew up a South Korean jet in 1987, killing 115 people, but was pardoned after her capture on the grounds that she had been brainwashed by the isolated regime. In 2001 North Korea admitted to 13 abductions of Japanese nationals, who were forced to teach Japanese language and culture to North Korean spies. It allowed five victims to return home but said eight more, including Megumi, had died -- a claim Japan has rejected. AFP PHOTO / JIJI PRESS
