Joy as North Korea detainees Miller and Bae return home

(BBC) Two Americans who were released from detention in North Korea, Matthew Todd Miller and Kenneth Bae, have arrived to a joyful welcome in the US.


US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper accompanied the men back, the US has confirmed.

Mr Bae thanked his supporters and said that he had experienced an "amazing" two years in prison during which he had "learned a lot" and lost weight.

US President Barack Obama said he was "grateful" for their safe return.

He said it was "a wonderful day" for the men and their families.

A third US citizen, Jeffrey Fowle, was freed last month and no Americans are now being held in North Korea.

The plane carrying the two men landed at a military base near Tacoma in Washington state late on Saturday.
