I would suspect that the two individuals were standing there, looked around, said "I don't see anyone, lets jump over and snag a picture or three." "Good idea."

Meanwhile - up on an OP about a mile or two away - two soldiers had been watching them. "Hey, Kim, look! They're crossing the border." "Quick, radio the QRF squad."

And the rest, as they say, is History.

The story that they were targeted and snagged from the China side of the border? I'm sure both sides watch the border in a similar way and China would take a dim view of troops crossing over.

Unless of course China was in on it, told NK they would be in the area, let the NKs snag them - all to make the US look bad. They wouldn't do that would they?
