North Korea Launches Investigation into US Soldier Travis King Following UN Messages

North Korea has responded to messages regarding U.S. Army Private 2nd Class Travis King, who crossed the demilitarized zone two weeks ago, acknowledging the incident and stating that it is under investigation. King, who had been serving in South Korea, left the airport instead of boarding his flight to the U.S. and joined a tour of the DMZ. He then crossed the military demarcation line and was taken to Pyongyang. U.S. officials express concern for King's welfare and have no knowledge of his current condition.
