SEOUL (AP) - The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation will open a liaison office in Seoul this week, U.S. Embassy officials said Wednesday. Lee Seung-kyu, an FBI official, arrived in Seoul on Tuesday and will open the liaison office inside the U.S. Embassy by Friday, embassy spokesman Gerald McLoughlin said. Lee, a 41-year-old Korean-American, will handle liaison duties with South Korea's National Police Agency. His office does not have investigative authority, McLoughlin said. Under a U.S.-South Korea extradition treaty that went into effect in December, Seoul hopes to bring home South Korean fugitives believed to be in the United States. |
