Seoul, South Korea

A “conversation has commenced” with North Korea over US Army Pvt. Travis
King, who crossed the border between North and South Korea last week in
the demilitarized zone separating the two nations, the deputy commander of
the United Nations Command (UNC) said Monday.

King, believed to be the first US soldier to cross into North Korea since
1982, had a history of assault, was facing disciplinary action over his
conduct and was meant to go back to the US the day before the incident.

Gen. Andrew Harrison said the case of King is still under investigation
and he could not provide further detail on the private, who the US
military said “willfully and without authorization” crossed into North
Korea while taking a civilian tour of the Joint Security Area, a small
collection of ?buildings inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that has
separated North and South Korea since the end of the Korean War in 1953.

“There is a mechanism that exists under the armistice agreement, whereby
lines of communication are open between the UNC and the Korean People’s
Army, and that takes place in the JSA. That process has started,” Harrison
told journalists at the Seoul Foreign Correspondents Club.

He acknowledged that the answers he could provide were “disappointing,”
but “I’m constrained by what I can say.”

“You may not get the answers for what you’re desperate for,” Harrison told
the journalists.
