North Korea has released two US journalists sentenced to 12 years hard labour following a surprise visit by Bill Clinton.

It came after the former US President met Laura Ling and Euna Lee in what was described as a "very emotional" meeting.

Pentagon sources say the pair - arrested while reporting on refugees fleeing the impoverished North - are flying back on his private plane.

During his visit, Mr Clinton met North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, who agreed to grant them a "special pardon".

According to North Korean media, the U-turn came after Mr Clinton "expressed words of sincere apology" for their behaviour.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency said Mr Clinton had "courteously" passed a verbal message to Jong Il from President Obama.

See all he wants is someone to sit down and have a cup of tea with him.

Lol, it could have gone two ways;


Blow his head off.
Do what he said.

Luckily, it went the right way.. Must have been those emotional words.

No, if it went the right way then Bill Clinton would be dead right now.
