'Kim Jong-un Ordered Release of US Detainee on Obama's Request'
2014-10-22 Updated.
 
The North's state-run Korean Central News Agency reported Wednesday that North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un released Jeffrey Edward Fowle taking into account the repeated requests by U.S. President Barack Obama.

The report added that Fowle was handed over to the U.S. according to a relevant legal procedure. 

The report follows the sudden release of the U.S. citizen who had been detained in the communist state since May.

With Fowle's release, two American citizens remain detained in North Korea.
