Joint Security Area

When two North Korean soldiers are supposedly killed by one South Korean soldier in the

demilitarised zone, (popularly known as DMZ)

demarcating South Korea and North Korea, the

following investigations reveal that there is more

to it than one can see. The 11 bullets found in the bodies, along with the 5 bullets in the assassin’s magazine clip, totals to 16 bullets. But a normal gun holds only 15 bullets!

The investigating teams from neutral countries controlling the DMZ suspect the involvement of an unknown party and a cover up. But the truth is much more austere and tragic.
