“Korean-American Kenneth Bae, 44, has been held prisoner in the North since November, and Rodman had said last week that he might seek the man’s release. But speaking to reporters at Beijing airport en route to the North Korean capital, Rodman said ‘I haven’t been promised anything’ on Bae. ‘I’m just going to meet my friend Kim the marshal to start a new basketball league going,’ Rodman said. ‘I’m just trying to keep the communication job going.’ North Korea, which bans religious proselytising, said Bae was a Christian evangelist who brought in ‘inflammatory’ material.”
