Dennis Rodman heads to N. Korea to visit his 'friend' Kim

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman said Tuesday he was going on his second North Korea trip this year to have what he calls a friendly visit with the country's authoritarian leader, Kim Jong Un.

 

The trip by the flamboyant basketballer comes days after North Korea rejected a visit by a US envoy who had hoped to bring home an American missionary jailed there, Kenneth Bae. Speaking to reporters at the Beijing airport before leaving for Pyongyang, Rodman declined to say whether he would seek Bae's release. "I'm not going to talk about that," he said. (AP)
