Pyongyang, November 30 (KCNA) -- The Korean Central News Agency released the following report on Saturday:
A relevant institution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
recently put in custody U.S. citizen Merrill Edward Newman who committed
hostile acts against the DPRK after entering the country under the
guise of a tourist.
After entering the DPRK as a member of tourists' group in October he
perpetrated acts of infringing upon the dignity and sovereignty of the
DPRK and slandering its socialist system, quite contrary to the purpose
of tour.
He also committed such crime as trying to look for spies and
terrorists who conducted espionage and subversive activities against the
DPRK in the area of Mt. Kuwol during the last Fatherland Liberation War
as well as their families and descendants and connect them with the
"Kuwol Partisan Comrades-in-Arms Association," an anti-DPRK
plot-breeding organization of south Korea.
According to the results of the investigation, he was active as
adviser of "Kuwol Unit" of the UN Korea 6th Partisan Regiment part of
the Intelligence Bureau of the Command of the U.S. Forces in the Far
East since early in 1953. He is a criminal as he masterminded espionage
and subversive activities against the DPRK and in this course he was
involved in killings of service personnel of the Korean People's Army
and innocent civilians.
The investigation clearly proved Newman's hostile acts against the
DPRK and they were backed by evidence. He admitted all his crimes and
made an apology for them. -0
