State news: American Merrill Newman 'deported' from North Korea
updated 8:51 PM EST, Fri December 6, 2013
(CNN) -- Merrill Newman -- the 85-year-old American detained by North Korean authorities earlier this fall -- has been "deported from a humanitarian viewpoint," North Korea's state-run KCNA news agency reported early Saturday.
Newman was taken off a plane in Pyongyang by North Korean authorities in October, following a brief trip to the isolated East Asian nation, his family said.
Weeks later, state news released a story and video showing the Palo Alto, California, resident -- and Korean War veteran -- apologizing for crimes against North Korea.
