SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean security officials said Wednesday that they had arrested two North Korean agents who had posed as defectors in a plot to assassinate the highest-ranking North Korean defector by slitting his throat. The defector, Hwang Jang-Yop, a former North Korean Workers’ Party secretary, has bitterly criticized the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Il, since his defection in 1997.
