WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have arrested a former U.S. Marine who is a member of a group that allegedly raided the North Korean embassy in Madrid in February and stole electronics, two sources familiar with the arrest said on Friday.

Christopher Ahn was arrested on Thursday and appeared on Friday in federal court in Los Angeles, according to a law enforcement official and a source close to the group.

In a related development, armed U.S. federal agents on Thursday raided the apartment of Adrian Hong, leader of Cheolima Civil Defense, a group seeking the overthrow of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that is blamed for the Feb. 22 embassy raid, a person close to the group said without providing more details. Hong was not present at his residence when the raid occurred, the source said.

I'm not sure I believe a single word of that report. Ask anyone who has ever been inside an embassy what they odds are of this happening anywhere in the world. I have only been in 3 embassies,but I can tell you that they all take their security seriously,and have armed guards at the entrances that you have to convince you have an appointment to see someone who works there or you don't get inside. Even then they call that person,and either they or someone from their office comes to escort you to the person you need to see.

There is just no way in hell I can visualize this happening. Not even in a movie plot,where you accept improbabilities or impossibilities in order to move the story along.

I just wish I could figure out what this is supposed to be the cover story for.
