North Korea offers to send families of restaurant "abductees" to Seoul

SEOUL, Apr 22 (Reuters) North Korea today offered for a second time to send to Seoul the families of a group of restaurant workers who it says were abducted to the South, state media said, after South Korea rejected the first approach.
South Korea said two weeks ago that 13 North Korean workers at a restaurant run by the North in China had defected, in a case it described as unprecedented. North Korea accused South Korea of a "hideous abduction".
"The families of the abductees are eagerly asking for face-to-face contact with their daughters as they were forced to part from their beloved daughters," the chairman of the North Korean Red Cross said in a statement.
