KYODO, STAFF REPORT
North Korea did not provide any new information on the whereabouts of Japanese abducted by North Korean spies in the 1970s and 1980s when Japan's investigative delegation spent three days visiting Pyongyang this week, a Japanese source said Thursday.
But the North pledged to keep probing the abduction issue, regardless of what its past investigations in 2002 and 2004 turned up, the government source said. Pyongyang's official stance after the initial probes was that the 12 people on Japan's official list of abductees either died or never entered the country.
