Eleven North Koreans found shot in the South

after their submarine landed in the neighbouring state. The men were possibly killed by one of their number who also used the gun on himself, a South Korean defence ministry spokesman said. A twelfth was captured after a massive search while another eight or nine were still at large, the spokesman said. Seoul described the North Koreans as infiltrators, and said the incident was a breach of an armistice agreement that ended the 1950-53 Korean War. Richard Lloyd Parry - Tokyo
