Foreign Ministry Spokesman Rejects U.S. Fictitious Story about "Abduction of American by North Korea"
Pyongyang, October 8 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA Saturday as regards the fact that the U.S. is building up public opinion over the "story about abduction of American by north Korea".

Twelve years ago American university student David Sneddon was reported missing in the middle of his journey in the highlands of a country. At that time the country concerned officially notified the U.S. State Department and his family that he might have drowned in a river during his journey.

However, the U.S. has now become groundlessly vocal about the "abduction of the American by north Korea". This is just a plot hatched by the Obama group, destined to sink like the setting sun due to the total bankruptcy in its hostile policy toward the DPRK, to dramatize the non-existent "human rights issue" of the DPRK and tarnish its international image.

We flatly deny and categorically reject this far-fetched assertion as a swindle which does not deserve even a passing note.
