Friends mourn hiker

SEATTLE

Friends on Sunday mourned a well-known outdoors writer and photographer who had been missing for three days in Mount Rainier National Park before searchers said they recovered a body of a woman.

The National Park Service said it will be up to the Pierce County medical examiner to confirm that the body found Saturday afternoon was that of 70-year-old Karen Sykes of Seattle. It was discovered in an area where searchers were looking for Sykes, and they ended the three-day rescue effort after finding it.

Soldier surrounded

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

A day after a tense shootout, troops today tightened a cordon around a runaway South Korean soldier who killed five comrades at an outpost near the border with North Korea.

Yonhap news agency reported that the sergeant, identified only by his surname Yim, had been captured, but an official at Seoul’s Defense Ministry said troops were still trying to persuade Yim to surrender, without elaborating.

Yonhap later corrected its report to say that he had not been captured.

One platoon leader was wounded when Yim fired Sunday on the military personnel closing in on him, the official said.
