U.S. update travel warning for North Korea

Latest warning says that traveling to the DPRK as part of a tour group is not a guarantee against arrest

The U.S. Department of State have issued an updated travel warning for North Korea on Tuesday, replacing the previous blanket travel warning which was issued on November 19, 2013.

The latest warning, which is similar to its predecessor, contains additional text reminding tourists that traveling within official tour groups, or with registered guides, will not guarantee their safety against arrest.
