The KCNA said the investigation about the two journalists was completed and the DPRK decided to put them on trial.

But the report didn't say what the two Americans were charged with.

The DPRK said it detained two American journalists on March 17 as they were "illegally intruding into the territory of the DPRK by crossing the DPRK-China border."
