North Korea has abducted hundreds of foreign people including those from South Korea, Japan, Lebanon, Thailand, and other countries. The purposes of the abduction are
1. To use specialized skilled workers.
2. To steal identities for North Korean spies and terrorists.
3. To use the abductees as instructors of foreign languages and cultures for the spies and terrorists.
4. To make them as spouses hostages for abductees.
5. To eliminate hapless witnesses who happened to run into North Korea spies in action.
6. To brainwash them into secret spies.
7. To train spies.
8. At the end, those abductees can be used as hostages for ransom.
