kenneth-bae-NEWS-smAn emotional welcome home for two Americans who had been jailed in North Korea: Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller. They were released after a top US intelligence official visited North Korea, although it’s unclear what exactly led to their freedom. Bae is a devout Christian who was arrested in 2012 and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly plotting against the North Korean government. He is now recovering from ailments he suffered in prison.
