(Kyodo) Aug 11
U.S. Army deserter Charles Jenkins, now in Tokyo, has told Japanese officials that two of a number of former U.S. soldiers in North Korea have already died, Japanese government sources said Wednesday....
.... Jenkins was quoted as saying, "One of them died of the same disease that I have, and the other has already died."
At that time, Jenkins believed he had cancer after undergoing prostate surgery in Pyongyang, but the Tokyo hospital treating him has said after thorough medical checkups that he does not have cancer.
