It was in all the News Luvian, North Korea publicly admitted it to international press, some 20 or 30 tourists had been abducted over several years. Some were children, some young women, some middle age men...it was quite the international scandal..I think it was announced in november or december. You can do a google search..I have a lunch date in 5 minutes or would hunt for a link for you.

It happened 30 YEARS AGO! Which by my reckoning is a long time before the 1994 agreement - or even before the US first approached North Korea in the 80's over its nuclear power program.
What's more - North Korea admitted to the fact of the abductions and allowed the abductees to return home (recently) - as a direct result of the 'sunshine policy'. Thanks to GWB that reform process is now dead in the water...
