The two Koreas--long separated by war and suspicion--continue to take tentative steps towards reconciliation. In the latest gesture of friendship and trust, a North Korean soldier shot a South Korean tourist. The woman had strayed into a restricted area near a resort. When ordered to halt, she apparently became scared and began to run. The soldiers shot her in the back.
The resort where the shooting took place was built as a joint venture between the two countries. It was intended as a way to increase contact between North Koreans and South Koreans.
In that regard it seems to be a success.
