Laura Ling and Euna Lee, reporters for Al Gore's Current, suspected spies

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korean military intelligence officers in Pyongyang are questioning two American journalists for alleged espionage after they illegally crossed into the country from China, a South Korean newspaper reported Tuesday.

Laura Ling and Euna Lee, journalists working for the San Francisco-based media outlet Current TV, were undergoing "intense interrogation," with investigators poring through their notebooks, videotapes and camera for signs they were spying on the North's military facilities, the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper said, citing an unnamed South Korean intelligence official.

The two were being held at a guesthouse run by North Korean military intelligence agency on the outskirts of the capital, the report said.

Good work. Crossing illegally into North Korea... Hardly a smart move.
