The defense ministry said Wednesday it has called in a defense attache stationed at the South Korean Embassy in the United States for questioning over an alleged "inappropriate" behavior. The ministry said it recently summoned the two-star Army general from Washington for an internal probe after receiving a report of the unspecified improper conduct. It did not provide further details. "(We) plan to handle (the case) in accordance with the probe's results based on the law and regulations," the ministry said in a statement. Defense attaches serve as military representatives in diplomatic missions overseas and are tasked with gathering military-related intelligence. Source: Yonhap News Agency
