N. Korea releases diplomat's abducted son

Hong Won Myong (R), the 19-year-old son of former North Korean diplomat Hong Sun Gyong, is seen in Bangkok on March 23 after being released from captivity by North Korea. North Korean agents kidnapped the elder Hong, his wife and son, and tried to smuggle them out of Thailand. The parents escaped March 9. The North Korean Embassy handed over the younger Hong to Thai authorities, ending a diplomatic impasse between the two countries.
