U.S. authorities "literally mugged" a delegation of DPRK diplomats at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York last week and "forcibly took away a diplomatic package", North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) claimed on Sunday.
The incident reportedly took place on Friday June 16, to a group of North Koreans returning home after attending the 10th Session of the Conference of State Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which was held between June 13 and June 15 at the United Nations.
