By Ben Blanchard BEIJING (Reuters) - North Korea freed an 85-year-old retired American soldier on Saturday after detaining him for more than a month for crimes it said he committed during the Korean War six decades ago. The veteran, Merrill E. Newman, has arrived in China from North Korea and is likely to fly home soon. North Korea's official KCNA news agency earlier said he was being deported on humanitarian grounds and because he had admitted to his wrongdoing and apologized. "I'm very glad to be on my way home," Newman told Japanese reporters at Beijing airport.

An American veteran of the Korean War detained for more than a month in North Korea is in "excellent spirits" after his release, the 85-year-old man's son said on Friday. Merrill Newman was a U.S. special forces soldier in the 1950-53 war and worked with guerrillas fighting behind the lines. North Korea had called him a war criminal. His son, Jeffrey Newman, told reporters outside his ranch-style home in Pasadena that the family spoke briefly with his father after he arrived in Beijing from Pyongyang.
