North Korea to try detained US journalists
PYONGYANG. April 24. KAZINFORM. North Korea said Friday it has concluded its investigation into the alleged illegal entry of two US journalists now detained by the Stalinist state and formally decided to put them on trial; Kazinform refers to Trend News.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency said "hostile acts" had been concluded and the two women were also to be indicted on charges of illegal entry.
The authorities were preparing an indictment "based on criminal data confirmed."
The two women, Korean-American Euna Lee and Chinese-American Laura Ling, were arrested on March 17 by guards at the Chinese-North Korean border where they were working on a story for US news channel Current TV.
Tensions on the Korean peninsula have mounted since North Korea on April 5 launched what it said was a rocket carrying communications satellite, a move condemned by the UN Security Council as violating a ban on North Korea testing ballistic missiles, reported dpa; Kazinform cites Trend News.
