SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Friday that an American imprisoned for illegally entering the reclusive country has tried to kill himself.
Aijalon Mahli Gomes of Boston attempted to commit suicide and is being treated at a hospital, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said, citing information from “a relevant” government entity.
KCNA said the attempt was “driven by his strong guilty conscience” and despair that the U.S. government has not tried to gain his freedom.
