"Shooting Plot" Results Left Nothing but Suspects

The lengthy investigated and highly contentious 'Panmunjom Shooting Plot' turned out to be nothing more than another unresolved, suspicious incident.
According to the official announcement by public prosecutors on October 26, the plot involved 3 people: Han Sung Ki (39, former Jinro Group adviser), Oh Jung Eun (46, former Chong Wa Dae administrative official), and Chang Seok Jung (48, Trader to North Korea). It was attempted late last year to help Lee Hoi Chang of the Grand National Party win the presidential election against Kim Dae Jung of the National Congress for New Politics(NCNP). Moreover, Kwon Young Hae, the former head of the Agency of National Security Planning(KCIA) knew from the very beginning about the conspiracy and tacitly endorsed it.
The three accused were indicted by prosecutors for violating the national security law.
But the prosecutor said, 'We have not found any definate evidence against Lee Hoi Sung, Lee Hoi Chang's younger brother, so we will keep searching for it in the future.'
Nevertheless, the announcement is far from what the general public first heard from the government and the ruling NCNP side since they strongly suggested Lee Hoi Chang's involvement in the incident. The result however was just putting 3 mediocre suspects in jail without any further revelations. The government will take a great deal of backlash for the exaggerated innuendos against the opposition party.
The intelligent agency and the ruling party has a difficult task for the future in persuading the general public that they have not simply enacted political reprisals.
