North Korea denounced the South Korean government yesterday for granting asylum this week to about 460 North Korean defectors, characterizing Seoul's actions as 'abduction and terrorism.'
North Korea, which has had good relations with the government of President Roh Moo-hyun, broke two days of silence during which two groups of North Korean defectors were airlifted by the South Korean authorities to Seoul. They came from Vietnam, according to human-rights groups in Seoul."
