SEOUL, May 14 (Reuters) - North Korea said on Thursday it would put two U.S. journalists it arrested in March on trial on June 4, its KCNA news agency said in a one-sentence dispatch.

The pair, Euna Lee and Laura Ling of U.S. media outlet Current TV, were arrested along the border between North Korea and China. North Korea has accused them of illegally entering its territory with "hostile" intent and said that they face criminal charges.
