Anchor: North Korea announced that it has arrested an American citizen just a few days after disclosing the detainment of a Korean American. The most recent detainment brings the total number of American citizens being held in the North to four. 
Our Bae Joo-yon has more.
 
Report: North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency(KCNA) reported that Kim Hak-song, an official of the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, was arrested last Saturday.
 
The KCNA said that related authorities are conducting detailed investigation into his alleged crimes. However, the report stopped short of elaborating what Kim was charged with.
 
The English version of the state-run KCNA identified the detained citizen as Jin Xue Song, a Chinese version of the name Kim Hak-song.

Foreign media said that Kim is an ethnic Korean born in China, educated in the U.S. 
 
Kim’s arrest came after Kim Sang-dok, a Korean American who was invited to teach accounting at the same university, was detained on April 22nd for what the North claimed were hostile attempts to overturn the regime.
 
The former professor of the Yanbian University of Science and Technology in China was arrested at Pyongyang International Airport as he was waiting to board a plane to leave the country. Known as Tony Kim in the U.S., he was involved in childcare programs in the North Korean port city of Rason.
 
A total of four Americans are now being detained in the North. American college student Otto Warmbier is incarcerated on charges of hostile acts against the regime and Korean American pastor Kim Dong-chul is imprisoned on espionage charges. The pastor has been sentenced to ten years of hard labor and Warmbier to 15 years.
 
Back in 2009, the North abducted two American female reporters and used them as a means to negotiate with the U.S.
