North Korea has released two American citizens, Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Saturday.
The agency said the men have been allowed to leave North Korea and are on their way home, accompanied by agency Director James Clapper.
Bae and Miller were the last Americans held by North Korea following the release last month of Jeffrey Fowle.
Miller, who's from California, was serving a six-year jail term on charges of espionage, after he allegedly ripped his tourist visa at Pyongyang's airport in April and demanded asylum.
Bae, who's from Washington state, is a Korean-American missionary with health problems. He was serving a 15-year sentence for alleged anti-government activities.
“We welcome (North Korea’s) decision to release both Mr. Bae and Mr. Miller,” the U.S. intelligence office said. “We want to thank our international partners, especially our Protecting Power, the government of Sweden, for their tireless efforts to help secure their release.”
