Border police in Vietnam say they are searching for three North Koreans who escaped from police custody last week after crossing the border from China. It is believed to be the first time that North Koreans have fled into Communist Vietnam, a close ally of Pyongyang. A woman who was travelling with the group remains in a small provincial hospital. Police in the northern Vietnamese border province of Ha Giang said the four were taken into custody by border police last Wednesday.
That's a switch... Apparently any place, including the jungles of norther Vietnam and the arid wastes of Outer Mongolia, is better than North Korea. |
