S. Korea adds to wartime abductions list A Chinese tourist looks at a row of U.S. battle tanks, captured during the Korean War, on display at Beijing's National Military Museum of Revolution March 22, 2009. SEOUL, June 20 (UPI) -- The South Korean government Wednesday near doubled the number of civilians it officially lists as kidnapped by the North during the Korean War. The South added 351 people to its list of wartime abductions, bringing the total to 743, Yonhap News Agency reported. The number represents a fraction of the approximately 100,000 South Koreans unaccounted for after the 1950-53 Korean War, which was ended by cease-fire. A government committee appointed to handle the issue of wartime abductions has said the fate of the missing is unknown. The committee has promised to shed more light on the issue by next year. South Korea has repeatedly demanded reparations for missing nationals; however the North denies any kidnappings, saying any South Koreans in the North are there voluntarily.
