N. Korea claims soldier shot tourist three times: Hyundai Asan

   SEOUL, July 16 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has claimed that a South Korean tourist killed by a North Korean soldier while touring the North's mountain resort was shot three times, the head of a South Korean company operating the tour program said Wednesday.

The North's comment compares with its earlier claim that the soldier shot the South Korean victim Park Wang-ja, a 53-year-old housewife from Seoul, twice after firing blanks while she was entering a fenced-off beach area at the resort on Friday.
