Private Travis King, the US Army soldier who fled to North Korea rather than board a US-bound plane for discipline by authorities at home, is back in American custody nearly two months after he broke away from a tour group in the demilitarised zone that separates North and South Korea and crossed the border into the North.
US officials on Wednesday said the errant American soldier had been turned over to American authorities in China, and has now been transported to a US military installation.
