Four more kOled in espionage saga
South Eobean troops
are still searching for
North Korean agents a
week after infiltration.

ByYJ.Ahn
Associated Press
KANGNUNG, South Korea —
Gun battles claimed four lives as South
Korean troops stalked North Korean
agents hiding in the wilderness Sunday
after infiltrating the country last week.
Two South Korean soldiers were
gunned down as the bizarre espionage
saga continued. Two North Korean
agents were also killed, bringing to 20
the number of North Koreans killed or
found dead since their submarine was
discovered marooned off the. east coast
of South Korea early Wednesday.
Gun battles in the mountainous ter
rain were fierce Sunday. Adding to the
disarray of the fighting, a South Ko
rean army private deserted, firing at
nine colleagues as he fled, defense of
ficials said.
Other South Korean soldiers pur
sued him, establishing roadblocks in
the area, some 62 miles from the cen
ter of the search for the North Kore
ans.

Sporadic gunfire crackled though
steep ravines near the coastline Satur
day night and into Sunday, the
stateowned Yonhap TV reported.
Thousands of soldiers, thinking, an
other five North Koreans may stiil be
at large, continued the five-day-old
manhunt, assisted by helicopters and
sniffing dogs.
Two North Korean agents died this
weekend in separate shootouts that also
killed two South Korean soldiers,
bringing the total number of South
Korean fatalities to three.
In the first two days of the search,
18 North Koreans from the grounded
submarine were killed or found dead,
and one was captured. During the next
two days, South Korean soldiers ex
changed gunfire with some of the North
Koreans who remained at large, but the
North Koreans eluded what officials
here called an “airtight cordon.”
“We believe the rest of the North
Koreans are within our cordon. Our
troops are pressing on,” said military
spokesman Col. Kang Jun-kwon.
According to the single captured
agent, Li Gwang Su, 31, five col
leagues remain on the loose. They in
clude espionage agents, trained to sur
vive for days in extreme situations.
Most of those at large were crew
from the submarine that became
stranded in Kangnung, 90 miles north
east of Seoul and about 60 miles south
of the heavily armed Korean border.
The two Koreas are still technically at
war, having signed only an armistice
after their 1950-53 Korean War.
Hoping to lure the North Koreans
out of hiding and break their spirits
Saturday, loudspeakers in the area
blared a taped message by the captured
agent.
“I am alive. Let’s all live through
this and begin a new life,” Li said.
Offshore, naval ships were towing
the recovered communist submarine to
a nearby base.

“The turning point will come today
or tomorrow,” Defense Minister Lee
Yang-ho said Saturday, promising that
the residents of Kangnung and nearby
villages will soon be able to return to
their normal lives.
Intelligence officials said the Noth
Korean sub was thought to have been
on a mission to land spies and sabo
teurs, saying it was manned by offic
ers, including a colonel, from the
North’s special guerrilla forces.
The captured infiltrator told inves- '
tigators that their mission was to spy
on air defense and navy facilities, die
Defense Ministry said.
But officials could not explain some
aspects of the infiltration, including the
fact that 11 intruders were later found
together dead, all with gunshot wounds
to the head. They were discovered in a
mountain clearing hours after die in
vasion.
Officials initially theorized that 10
of them, unarmed were shot dead by
an 11th man who later turned and killed
himself to avoid capture. Officials said
Friday, however, that all were believed
shot by automatic rifles, none of which
were found at or near the scene.
Officials also were puzzled about
the fact that the intruders were found
to be poorly armed. In one shootout,
three intruders were killed and only one
of them was found to have a pistol.
On Saturday, officials, quoting the
captured intruder, said the submarine
had reached South Korea’s east coast
at least once a year since 1994. Its crew
was cited last year for completing an
unspecified mission, he told them.
fhey also quoted him as saying that
the sub was used to land a spy cm South
Korea’s southernmost island of Cheju
in 1995. The spy was captured later.
Saddam says
Iraq wont
enforce zones
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)—Turn
ing up his rhetoric while scaling
back his actions, Saddam Hussein
praised his army for “liberating”
part of northern Iraq and firing at
U.S. warplanes patrolling the skies.
Speaking during a Cabinet meet
ing late Saturday night, Saddam
again said he no longer recognized
the “no-fly” zones over northern
and southern Iraq that a U.S.-led
alliance has enforced.
But he didn’t say whether Iraqi
forces would resume firing missiles
at American and allied warplanes,
a move that almost certainly would
lead to renewed confrontation with
the United States.
The latest trouble between the
two countries began after Iraqi
troops stormed into the north Aug.
31 to help a Kurdish faction defeat
a rival group. Tensions have eased
since Iraq announced Sept. 13 that
it no longer would fire at planes
enforcing the no-fly zones.
Iraq also hasn’t used air defense
radar systems to track U.S. war
planes since Thursday, military
spokesman Lt. Col. Andrew
Bourland said Sunday.
