Two detained US tourists face trial in North Korea

North Korea said Monday that two detained American tourists would face trial for charges including “perpetrating hostile acts.”

The state-run KCNA news agency said suspicions about the “hostile acts” of Matthew Todd Miller and Jeffrey Edward Fowle had been confirmed by evidence and by their own testimony.

Miller, 24, was arrested in April after he reportedly ripped up his visa at immigration and demanded asylum. Fowle, who entered the North on April 29, was arrested later — after he reportedly left a Bible at a hotel.

Their detentions brought the number of Americans held by the rogue nation to three.

Kenneth Bae, a Korean American who was described by a North Korean court as a militant Christian evangelist, has been held since his arrest in 2012.
