North Korea said on Monday it will put a 30-year-old U.S. man on trial for illegally entering the country.
The man is likely the U.S. citizen the North has held since January after he supposedly entered the reclusive state from China, South Korean government officials told local media.
The North identified the man as Aijalon Mahli Gomes, adding he was from Boston. His “crime has been confirmed,” its official KCNA news agency said without elaborating.
