North Korea puts two U.S. journalists on trial

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea put two U.S. journalists on trial on Thursday on charges of illegally entering the state with "hostile intent," in a case that could worsen tension with Washington after Pyongyang's nuclear test last week.

The journalists, Euna Lee and Laura Ling of the U.S. media outlet Current TV, were arrested in March near the border between China and North Korea while working on a story. The TV network was co-founded by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.

North Korea's KCNA news agency said in a one-sentence dispatch that the trial would begin at 0600 GMT (3 p.m. local time) at one of the country's highest courts.

Two US journalists have been sentenced to 12 years in a North Korean labour camp for so-called "hostile acts" against the closed communist state.

Laura Ling and Euna Lee were convicted of illegally crossing into North Korea after a closed five-day trial.

The two journalists were producing a documentary on refugees fleeing the Stalinist state when they were arrested on the border with China in March.
