US journalists claim North Korean soldiers dragged them across the Chinese border

The two journalists from the United States who were detained in North Korea have said that they were dragged across the border by North Korean soldiers. The both of them, Laura Ling and Euna Lee admitted that they had indeed crossed the border on their own, but the time spent there was less than a minute. They were seized by these soldiers on March 17 for crossing the Tumen river, which was frozen at that time with the guide. Here is a statement from the both of them about the incident.
“We tried with all our might to cling to bushes, ground, anything that would keep us on Chinese soil, but we were no match for the determined soldiers,” Ling and Lee said. “They violently dragged us back across the ice to North Korea.” They also claimed that they may have been lured into a trap. “In the days before our capture, our guide had seemed cautious and responsible,” the reporters said in their statement. “To this day, we still don’t know if we were lured into a trap. Fortunately for these two journalists, they were rescued by Bill Clinton, who came over to North Korea and negiotiated a release for them.
