Re: 17th South Korean POW Escapes

Date: November 28, 2000

Yet another South Korean POW has managed to escape. The man's arrival in Seoul was announced by South Korean intelligence. Taken prisoner in 1951, the 66 year-old man would have been roughly 17 years old when captured. During his captivity he labored in mines in Onsung on the border with China.

According to South Korean sources, it is believed as many as 300 South Korean POWs are alive in the northern most areas of North Korea, with an additional 454, primarily abducted fishermen, in the southern region.
