American's detention an act of 'flailing' N. Korea leader: Haley
Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, on Monday called the detention of a US citizen by North Korea a display of muscle-flexing by the country's "flailing" leader. Kim Sang-Duk, or Tony Kim, was arrested Saturday at Pyongyang's airport as he was about to leave the country after a teaching stint at a university founded by evangelical Christians. Haley said the action was an attempt by Kim Jong-Un's regime to use the American as a bargaining chip amid heightened international tensions over its nuclear and missile programs.
