Ok, as some of you know North Korea is notorious for kidnapping Japanese citizens. That's why there is so much conflict between the two countries (that and because Korea's still [explicit]ing over WWII). Well over the past few years, victims or many times their remains are returned.
North Korea on Monday rejected Japan's DNA analysis concluding that the ashes handed over by North Korea as the cremated remains of Megumi Yokota were not those of the abductee, and demanded that Japan punish those involved in what it called a fabrication, North Korea's official media said.
A "memorandum" authorized by the North Korean government also said that a Japanese official who brought back the remains to Japan after bilateral talks in Pyongyang had promised to hand them over to Yokota's parents without making them public, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
Korea will most likely be paid for this as usual.
