OSAKA -- The identity of another man suspected of having been abducted by North Korea in 1980 has been made public, and his photograph were released Wednesday by a group working to secure the release of abductees.
The National Association for the Rescue of Japanese Kidnapped by North Korea (NARKN) said it suspects Kaoru Matsuki was kidnapped by the same Red Army Faction members who reportedly abducted a Japanese woman in 1983.
NARKN said Matsuki, originally from Kumamoto Prefecture, was a 19-year-old college student traveling in Europe when he disappeared during summer 1980.
