N Korea says it deported US tourist and war vet
Online Edition
North Korea says it has deported an elderly US tourist and war veteran detained for more than a month for alleged hostile acts against the country.
The North's state media says it did so because 85-year-old Merrill Newman had apologized for his alleged crimes during the Korean War during a recent trip to the country and because of his age and medical condition.
It's not clear if his confession was coerced. He was taken off a plane October 26 by North Korean authorities while preparing to leave the country after a 10-day tour.
Before him, North Korea has detained at least six Americans since 2009.
A former group of South Korean guerrillas say Newman advised them as they fought behind enemy lines during the war.
