Spy agency says 1987 bombing of Korean Air jet carried out by N. Korea
South Korea's state spy agency said Tuesday that a 1987 bombing of a Korean Air jet, which killed all 115 passengers and crew members on board, was committed by North Korean agents, dismissing claims by the victims' bereaved families that the crime may have been fabricated.

Is this another jet or the jet shot down by Russians?

And the woman survived and is now living in the South.

I'm glad they investigated further. It'll put some of the loons back in the caves.

I guess there'll be nationwide protests against America now.

This was the result of a RE-investigation, because of allegations that the South Korean government blew up the plane in order to win an election. (This kind of craziness is not restricted to IGTG. Alas.)

I read that female Korean spy's book. Very interesting, just wish I could remember the name. Also, her picture's in the back of the book and my jaw D-R-O-P-P-E-D. I've yet to see a finer Korean woman!

The Russians shot down a Korean Airliner in September 1983.
