Journalists to face trial in North Korea 'for hostile acts'

North Korea decided to put two US journalists on trial following an investigation into allegations that they entered the country illegally and conducted "hostile acts," state-run media said.

Laura Ling and Euna Lee, journalists working for former US Vice-President Al Gore's San Francisco-based Current TV media venture, were arrested on March 17 near the North Korean border while reporting on refugees living in China.
