The North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency reported that the Central Court found Laura Ling and Euna Lee guilty of “a grave crime” against North Korea and of the “illegal crossing” of the North Korean border. Ling and Lee are reporters for the San Francisco-based Current TV. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is a co-founder and a co-chair.
