韓國逮捕兩名朝鮮間諜嫌疑人

South Korean police said Thursday they have arrested two men on charges of gathering military intelligence for North Korea.

Police said the men were detained in early May after allegedly collecting information on devices capable of disturbing global positioning system (GPS) signals and other sensitive military equipment.

Officials identified the men as a 74-year-old with the surname Lee and a 56-year-old Korean businessman named Kim who had acquired New Zealand citizenship.

They are accused of meeting with and receiving instructions from a North Korean agent in the Chinese city of Dandong, which lies along the North Korean border.

Police are investigating whether the men passed on to the agent any equipment or intelligence that could have been used in recent cyber attacks against the South.

Earlier this month, Seoul accused Pyongyang of sending GPS-jamming signals that affected hundreds of aircraft and ships in South Korea.韓國警方星期四說，逮捕了兩名被控爲朝鮮蒐集軍事情報的男子。

韓國警方表示，這兩名男子被指控蒐集能夠干擾全球定位系統訊號設施以及其他敏感軍事設備的情報，於5月初被拘留。

有關官員已經查明其中一人現年74歲，姓李，另一名56歲，姓金，是一名商人，已經獲得新西蘭公民身份。

這兩人被控在朝鮮沿邊的中國城市丹東與一名朝鮮特工見面並接受指示。

韓國警方目前正在調查這兩個人是否交給朝鮮特工任何可能用來對韓國進行網絡攻擊的設備或情報。

本月早些時候，首爾指責平壤發送干擾全球定位系統的信號，使韓國數百飛機和船隻受到影響。
