Julio Ernesto Florian, head of the army, told media that the military would use drones and intelligence personnel to find information on the whereabouts of Carlos Guillen, a commercial attaché for agricultural affairs at the Dominican embassy in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince.

Some had vacationed there previously, including German commercial attache Theodore von Knopp and Japanese journalist Masuo Kato.

His later postings included Beirut, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and Cairo, where he served as a commercial attache.

Spanish authorities say one of the group, named as Adrian Hong Chang, gained access by asking to see the commercial attaché, whom he claimed to have met previously to discuss business matters.

Authorities said that the 10 members of the group shackled and interrogated the staffers during the raid and attempted to convince the embassy’s commercial attaché to defect from North Korea, albeit unsuccessfully.
