SEOUL, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Speculation is rising in South Korea that U.S. intelligence agents may have been dispatched to Seoul to interview a senior North Korean diplomat who fled from his embassy in London, as the two sides worked in close coordination after Thae Yong Ho's defection.
Local newspaper JoongAng Ilbo reported Wednesday the CIA may have sent officers to South Korea to interrogate Thae, who had defected to Seoul in August.
