Reunited Koreans bridge 60-year divide

SEOUL: Around 400 elderly South Koreans met privately Wednesday with North Korean relatives they haven’t seen for more than 60 years, on the second day of a highly charged reunion for families torn apart by the Korean War.

In contrast to the previous day when their tearful and, in some cases, clearly traumatic meetings were played out in front of TV cameras, they were allowed two hours in their own rooms to try to bridge the decades of separation.
