South Korea accuses five people of spying for North

South Korean prosecutors indicted a Korean American and four others today for allegedly spying for North Korea in what officials dubbed the biggest spy case since the beginning of reconciliation between the two Koreas.

Jang Min-ho, the 44-year-old naturalised Korean American whose English name is Michael Jang, was charged with setting up the spy ring in 2002 at the instruction of the communist regime and passing secret information to the North.
