The United States confirmed Friday that another American citizen had been detained in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK), bringing the number of Americans held by the Asian country to three. Jeffrey Edward Fowle, who entered the DPRK as a tourist on April 29, was detained for hostile acts, DPRKs official news agency KCNA reported Friday. The U.S. State Department issued a travel warning last month, advising U.S. citizens against traveling to the DPRK, even by joining a group tour, to avoid the risk of being detained.
