Nearly four decades after North Korea siezed USS Pueblo, the US Senate is moving on a resolution demanding it's return. North Korean fighter planes and navy vessels attacked the American spy ship on January 23, 1968. One sailor died and 82 were taken prisoner for a year. It was the first time a US naval vessel had been hijacked on the high seas in 150 years.
Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) filed the resolution after North Korea boasted of having an atomic bomb. Sen Allard's state is home to the Pueblo's namesake city. The ship is currently on display in North Korea as a museum.
