LOS ANGELES: A former US Marine accused of stealing electronics from the North Korean embassy in Madrid in a robbery of the diplomatic compound was ordered by a federal judge in Los Angeles on Tuesday to remain in US custody pending possible extradition to Spain.
According to US court documents, the raiders removed computers, computer drives and a mobile phone from the embassy before the alleged ringleader, Adrian Hong, traveled to the United States and met with the FBI. North Korea's foreign ministry denounced the incident as a"grave terrorist attack" and cited rumors that the FBI was partially behind the raid. The US State Department has said Washington had nothing to do with it.
In US court on Tuesday, Ahn's public defender, Callie Steele, asked Magistrate Judge Jean Rosenbluth to keep records in the case sealed to protect her client, saying North Korea's leader had ordered assassinations in the past and that credible death threats had been made against Ahn.
