PYONGYANG, Sept 27 (BBC): US soldier Travis King, who fled to North Korea in July, is in American custody after being expelled by Pyongyang, officials say.
Earlier report says: North Korea says it will deport US soldier Travis King who ran across the border from South Korea during a tour in July. Pyongyang will deport him having finished its investigation into King's "illegal" entry, state news agency KNCA said.
KCNA did not specify how, when or to where Private King would be expelled. His release comes a month after North Korea acknowledged detaining the 23-year-old.
According to KCNA, he confessed to having illegally crossed into North Korea "due to inhuman treatment in the US military, antipathy to racism and disillusionment with the unequal US society."
