SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea said Wednesday it had arrested spies working for an unspecified foreign country who were collecting intelligence on the communist state's military and state secrets.
It said a foreign spy agency had trapped "some corrupt" North Koreans travelling abroad by using money, sex and blackmail and turned them into moles, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
"Recently, the National Security Service of the DPRK (North Korea) has arrested spies who were recruited by a foreign spy agency and its agent who was directing them," it said.
The agent posed as a businessman, it said, adding the spies' missions included taking pictures and drawing maps of key military facilities.
They were also asked to collect documents on military and state secrets and spread the ideas of freedom and democracy to key figures so that they would flee the authoritarian North, KCNA said.
