Probable N. Korea defectors in Japan

TOYAMA, Japan - Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter shows nine probable defectors from North Korea being escorted by officers as they get off a helicopter aboard the Japan Coast Guard patrol ship Echigo in the Sea of Japan off Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, on Sept. 13, 2011. The coast guard found a wooden boat carrying the nine -- six adults and three children -- and took them to Kanazawa port. A man among them told the coast guard that they are relatives and they left a North Korean port on Sept. 8 in the hope of going to South Korea. (Kyodo)
