Mercy Corps Among Groups Asked To Leave North Korea

Tensions are running high this week between the west and North Korea. 

The South Korean media reports that two American journalists have been detained near the North Korean border with China.

Earlier this week, five aid groups that distribute food to hungry North Koreans were asked to leave by the end of the month.

The lead agency is Portland-based Mercy Corps.  Nancy Lindborg is the organization's president.
