SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Four North Koreans overpowered a security guard and scaled the wall of a U.S. consulate in China in hopes of gaining asylum from their impoverished, communist country, South Korean media reported Saturday.
The Chosun Ilbo newspaper said the four entered the U.S. consulate in the northeastern city of Shenyang from the neighboring South Korean consulate by climbing a wall separating the two compounds.
A Chinese security guard employed by the Korean mission tried to stop them, but the North Koreans overpowered him, the paper said.
