N. Korea holds 2 US journalists

SEOUL, March 21 (Reuters) - North Korea reopened a military hotline with the South today, a day after Washington and Seoul ended annual defence drills which Pyongyang had called preparations for an invasion.

The North also confirmed it had detained two Americans on Tuesday for “illegally” crossing its border from China and said they were being investigated.

Washington said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was trying to resolve the issue over the two female journalists, who were detained while filming a story for an online news company. Pyongyang cut the hotline at the start of the U.S.-South Korean drills on March 9.
