Associated PressSEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Authorities arrested two North Koreans for allegedly posing as defectors to South Korea and plotting to assassinate the top-ranked North Korean official ever to defect to Seoul, officials said Wednesday.
Hwang Jang Yop, a former senior member of the North's ruling Worker' Party who once mentored leader Kim Jong Il, defected to the South in 1997. He has written books and given lectures condemning Kim's regime as totalitarian and now lives under tight secrecy in South Korea.
On Tuesday, Seoul prosecutors arrested two North Korean army majors for entering South Korea by posing as ordinary defectors with an alleged mission to kill the 87-year-old Hwang, according to Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
The two, both 36, confessed to investigators that their military boss ordered them to report about Hwang's activities in South Korea and be ready to ''slit the betrayer's throat,'' said a senior district prosecutor on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to media.
