SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea's state news agency says former U.S. President Bill Clinton has arrived in Pyongyang, following reports that he's headed there to win the release of two detained American journalists.
The official Korean Central News Agency says Tuesday that Clinton was greeted at the airport by North Korean officials, including the country's chief nuclear negotiator Kim Kye Gwan.
KCNA says, "A little girl presented a bouquet to Bill Clinton."
The reporters, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, were sentenced in June to 12 years of hard labor for entering the country illegally and engaging in "hostile acts."
