美國否認派遣突擊隊到朝鮮獲取情報

The Diplomat, a Tokyo-based political journal, on Monday carried a report alleging that U.S. military commandos have been parachuting into North Korea to gather intelligence on Pyongyang's underground military installations. U.S. military officials are rejecting the report.

The Diplomat reported that a senior U.S. special operations commander revealed the supposed commando program at a conference in Florida last week.

But Colonel Withington, a spokesperson for the United States Forces Korea, dismissed the story when contacted by VOA on Tuesday. He said the report took "great liberal license" with the comments made by Army Brig. Gen. Neil Tolley, saying some of the quotes were "made up and attributed to him."總部設在東京的政治刊物《外交官》星期一刊登一篇報道說，美國軍事突擊隊在朝鮮空降，以獲取平壤地下軍事設施的情報。美國軍方官員否認了這篇報道的說法。

《外交官》的報道說，美國特種兵的一名高層指揮官上星期在佛羅里達州舉行的一次會議上透露了突擊隊這一計劃。

但是，駐韓美軍發言人威辛頓上校星期二向美國之音否認了這一說法。他表示，這篇報道對美國陸軍准將託利的評論採取了不負責任的態度，把一些編造的話強加在託利將軍的身上。
