Japanese reporters detained when trying to film Kim Jong-Il's train

ULAN UDE, August 25 (Itar-Tass) - Police in the Karymsk district,
Zabaikalye Territory, detained a group of Japanese television journalists
who were trying to film the passage of Kim Jong-Il's train on Thursday
morning, a regional prosecutor told Itar-Tass.
"They were detained near the station of Tarskaya by agents of the
Karymsk office of the regional Federal Security Service department,
jointly with the guards from the federal state enterprise "Security on
Railway Transport of the Russian federation."
Karymsk district prosecutor Denis Kurochkin said the guards on the
railway bridge across the Ingoda river, a strategic facility, noticed a
group of persons in restricted area, who were video shooting it.
"The Code of Administrative Offenses stipulates responsibility for
unauthorized entry into protected facilities. The guards detained the
foreigners, called the FSB and convoyed the detainees to the Karymsk
district police station," Kurochkin said.
Police ascertained that the detainees are representatives of Japan's
Sapporo Television Broadcasting company, who were trying to film the
passage of the North Korean leader's train.
They had cameras and the necessary documents on them. They did not
carry any banned objects and have not violated the migration or criminal
legislation," the prosecutor's office said, noting however, that they
might have to pay a fine up to 500 rubles for administrative offense.
