Free at Last: Euna Lee and Laura Ling Back in the U.S.
Former President Bill Clinton’s plane landed in Los Angeles this morning with American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee. The two had been held captive in North Korea after being accused of illegally crossing the border into the communist nation. Clinton’s surprise trip to North Korea led to the women’s release and their reunion with their families today. Rose Razeghi of ABC News was on the tarmac when the journalists and the former president touched down.
