North Korea detains American man

On Christmas Day, American activist and Christian missionary Robert Park crossed a frozen river from China into North Korea. Park went to bring attention to human rights issues in North Korea and entered the country armed with a Bible and letters to Kim Jong II. Four days later, North Korea announced that they had an American man in custody for entering the country illegally but would not provide any further details. Park has not been heard from since.
