US vet held in N. Korea says he was comfortable

Merrill Newman, center, walks beside his wife Lee, left, and his son Jeffrey after arriving at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2013. Newman was detained in North Korea late October at the end of a 10-day trip to North Korea, a visit that came six decades after he oversaw a group of South Korean wartime guerrillas during the 1950-53 war. He was released from North Korea early Saturday. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A day after arriving home to California, the 85-year-old U.S. veteran detained for weeks by North Korea said Sunday that he was well-fed and kept comfortable in a hotel room, not a jail cell.

North Korea purges Kim Jong Un's powerful uncle

FILE - In this July 27, 2013 file photo, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, center, is followed by his uncle Jang Song Thaek, second from left, and Yang Hyong Sop, left, vice president of the Presidium of North Korea's parliament, as he tours the newly opened Fatherland Liberation War Museum as part of celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice in Pyongyang, North Korea. Images of Kim Jong Un’s powerful uncle Jang have been removed from a rebroadcast of an official TV documentary that was shown on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2013, adding credence to South Korea’s belief that he may have been purged by his nephew. Seoul’s spy agency told lawmakers that Jang is believed to have been sacked after two of his key associates were executed over corruption charges in November 2013. Some worry that, if true, the purge of such a powerful figure could lead to dangerous instability. (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E, File)SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Monday acknowledged the purge of leader Kim Jong Un's influential uncle for alleged corruption, drug use, gambling and a long list of other "anti-state" acts, apparently ending the career of the country's second most powerful official.
