North Korea Deports U.S. Citizen as Kim Jong-un Oversees Weapon Test
--------------------------------------------------------------------

North Korea announced it will deport an American citizen who has been
detained for over one month for entering the country illegally. The
release is seen as a sign of goodwill from the North Koreans, who have
previously held U.S. detainees for much longer periods, often using them
as pawns in political negotiations. In more news from North Korea,
leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly supervised a test of an advanced,
high-tech weapon, according to North Korean state media.
