...South Korea, was accosted in the hallway by five men, pulled into an adjoining room-and has not been seen again. When the room was opened 25 minutes later, the only unusual contents were the cartridge of a .32-cal. German revolver, a half-empty bottle of a chloroform-like anaesthetic, and three knapsacks, one of them large enough to hold an adult. So smooth was Kim's kidnaping-or possibly his murder-that Japanese authorities speculated that it was the work of the ever-efficient Korean CIA, acting perhaps on the orders of President Chung Hee Park, whom...
