The government of North Korea has detained a US citizen on suspicion of spying, CNN reported on Monday.
CNN also broadcast an interview with a Canadian citizen who is serving a life sentence in a North Korean labour camp.
On Monday, the news channel said an American man identified as Kim Dong Chul was being held by the Pyongyang government and that authorities had accused him of engaging in spying and stealing state secrets.
CNN displayed Kims US passport and said that he had lived in China for many years but had also resided in Fairfax, Virginia.

Why are these people going into this country. They know, they are opening themselves up to being captured. If the story of the hydrogen bomb is true, and the intel is true, time for the US to pay North Korea a "little visit"...( in my OWN OPINION).
