Mysterious group claims responsibility for raid on NorthKorea Embassy in Spain
WASHINGTON - A revolutionary group that infiltrated North Korea's Embassy in Madrid last month, tied up staffers and escaped with computers and other items claimed responsibility for the raid on Tuesday in a statement on its website.
The group's claim of responsibility came after a judge in Spain lifted a secrecy order in the case Tuesday and accused an American, a Mexican and a South Korean of participating in the mysterious raid as a part of a 10-member group.The judge, Jose de la Mata, said evidence of various crimes had been found, including trespassing, threats, illegal detentions and burglary committed by a"criminal organisation.
The statement by Free Joseon, also known as the Cheollima Civil Defence group, pushed back against Spanish media reports that the group beat and gagged embassy staff. The group's description of events could not be independently confirmed, but it said it had evidence"verifying our account."
