The State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said Thursday that the United States is continuing to work for the safe return of Private 2nd Class Travis King, who crossed the military demarcation line into North Korea two days ago.

"The White House, the State Department, the Pentagon, of course, are all continuing to work together on this matter to ascertain information about the well-being and whereabouts of Private King," Miller told the press.

However, Miller declined to comment on whether North Korea has responded to the US calls. Private King was on a JSA orientation trip to Panmunjom when the incident occurred under still unclear circumstances.
