Sweden Helping Negotiate For Americans Held In North Korea

On Sunday, CNN reported that Sweden is helping negotiate the release of three Americans held captive in North Korea. Sources with knowledge of the negotiations said that a North Korean Foreign Minister is in Stockholm for talks with his Swedish counterpart. Sources tell CNN that Sweden "engaged heavily" in the issue of the American detainees, and since Sweden is a protective power for the US, it also represents the country's interest in all talks with North Korea.
