Arrest warrant issued for blogger over Tablo-bashing

By Kang Shin-who

An arrest warrant has been issued for a blogger who led the campaign raising doubt about the authenticity of singer Tablo's Stanford University diploma.

According to prosecutors Tuesday, the Seoul Central District Court issued an arrest warrant for the Korean-American blogger, better known as "whatbecomes" who created the Tablo-bashing online cafe "Tajinyo".

Police have requested the Interpol to cooperate for the arrest of the U.S.-based blogger, identified only as Kim, under the extradition treaty.

Tablo filed a complaint with the prosecution for libelous charges against 22 members of the online community, including the cafe manager "whatbecomes".
