The Bombing Of Korean Flight 858
Hear from the relatives of some of the 115 people killed in the attack ordered by North Korea in the lead-up to the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.
In November 1987 a South Korean airliner was blown out of the sky, killing 115 people on board. The attack on Korean Air flight 858 is believed to have been the work of agents of the North Korean regime, seeking to disrupt the Summer Olympics in Seoul. Pete Ross has been hearing from relatives of some of those who died that day, as well as from one of the bombers, the North Korean agent Kim Hyun-hui.
