Stricter measures expected for North Korea border tours after US soldier incident

Tourists should expect far stricter supervision if visits to the border between North and South Korea resume, analysts said, after US soldier Travis King used an organized tour to get close enough to dash across to North Korea last week.
The US Army private joined a tour party visiting the so-called truce village of Panmunjom on July 18, a day after he was supposed to have returned to the US to face disciplinary action over charges brought while serving in South Korea.
