Ex-U.S. Ambassador says U.S. warning saved Kim Dae Jung's life

Former U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Donald Gregg speaks in Seoul on May 19, 2015. He said a U.S. warning saved the life of Kim Dae Jung, a South Korean opposition leader who later became the president of the country, when he was abducted by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) in 1973. Following the U.S. warning, an airplane sent by the South Korean government signaled the captors holding Kim on a boat at sea not to kill him, according to Gregg, Central Intelligence Agency station chief in Seoul at the time of the abduction.
