Seoul, Oct 14 The South Korean Defence Ministry is planning to provide financial compensation for South Koreans who operated in North Korea as part of American military intelligence units during the 1950-53 Korean War, officials said on Thursday.The Ministry will offer 10 million won (US$8,400) each to the civil who worked for the units, including the Korea Liaison Office (KLO), from 1948-1953, as they have been excluded from the compensation list due in part to limits in confirming their merit in foreign operations, Yonhap News Agency reported citing the officials as sayign.During the war, the US military recruited Koreans to glean on-the-ground information in North Korean regions, including Hwanghae and Pyongan provinces, as high-tech equipment, such as spy satellites and high-altitude drones, were not available at that time.The military said it plans to deliver the compensation money in the near future, as many potential recipients are aged 85 or older.Families of the deceased can also apply for the compensation.The decision came years after the National Human Rights Commission of Korea advised that Parliament and the military should prepare new rules to recognize KLO veterans in 2007.Seoul and Pyongyang, meanwhile, technically remain at war, as the Korean War ended with an armistice and a peace treaty has never been signed.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
