The stories of 12 Japanese abducted by North Korea ? Japan Today: Japan News and Discussion
"A 13-year-old schoolgirl walking home after badminton practice. A 28-year-old restaurant employee sent by his boss to Vienna. A young couple on a date, driving to the beach to see the sunset. They are among at least 17 Japanese possibly many more than that who were abducted by North Korea more than three decades ago.
The apparent reasons included training agents in Japanese language and social norms, or stealing identities so the agents could masquerade as Japanese for espionage and terrorism aimed mainly at South Korea."
If there ever was a nightmarishly criminal state, it's North Korea.
