North Korea has sentenced a Korean American man to 10
years' hard labour for subversion, China's Xinhua news
agency reported .
Kim Dong-chul, 62, was arrested in North Korea in October
and admitted to stealing military secrets and plotting
subversion with South Koreans, the North's official news
agency reported.
Official news agency says 62-year-old admitted spying for
the South Korean and US governments. Kim said he was approached by South Korean officials and asked to spy in 2011.
North Korea has in the past used detained Americans to
extract high-profile visits from the United States, with which
it has no formal diplomatic relations.
