North Koreans Try to Enter South Korean Building in Beijing; Three Succeed
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBWDG00Q0E.html


BEIJING (AP) - As many as 19 people believed to be North Korean asylum seekers tried to dash into a South Korean consulate building in Beijing on Monday, but only three succeeded, a diplomat and a news report said.

Some of the rest were taken away by Chinese guards while others fled the scene, an Asian diplomat in Beijing and South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said. It wasn't clear how many were caught by police.

Yonhap said 18 North Koreans were involved, while the diplomat - who asked not to be identified - put the number at 19.

1. Wow it's not hard to figure out why. It's tough making $30/year.
Hope they don't get sent back to North Korea, they'll be killed.
