SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea blamed South Korea for the shooting death of a South Korean tourist in the communist nation and refused to cooperate in an investigation.
While expressing regret that a North Korean soldier shot the woman Friday, the North demanded Seoul apologize for its “intolerable insult” of suspending trips to a North Korean mountain resort. It said Saturday it would not allow visitors until the South did so.
On Saturday, South Korea’s conservative President Lee Myung-Bak denounced the killing of 53-year-old housewife Park Wang-Ja and urged the North to cooperate in the investigation. “What cannot and should not happen, has happened,” Lee said at a security ministers’ meeting.
