North Korea to put detained U.S. citizen on trial for ‘perpetrating hostile acts’

US officials vowed the day after the interviews were aired that they would “leave no stone unturned” in their efforts to free the three men.

But State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki refused to outline US efforts publicly, saying Washington did not want to jeopardise any diplomacy.

She would not discuss whether Washington was prepared to send a high-level envoy to Pyongyang as it has in past cases, when former president Bill Clinton and ex-governor Bill Richardson successfully won the release of detained Americans.
