Arrest warrant sought for ex-nat'l security chief

A woman walks past the Seoul Central Prosecutors Office on Nov. 29, 2022. Earlier in the day, the prosecution sought an arrest warrant for former National Security Adviser Suh Hoon as part of a probe into the death of a South Korean fisheries official, who was shot to death by North Korean soldiers while drifting in the North's territorial waters in the West Sea in September 2020. Suh was accused of involvement in the then Moon Jae-in government's conclusion without sufficient evidence that the fisheries official was killed while attempting to defect to the North. He was also suspected of ordering key security officials to delete internal intelligence reports running counter to the conclusion. (Yonhap)
