Rodman apologises for rant, heads to N. Korean ski resort


SEOUL (Reuters) - Retired U.S. basketball star Dennis Rodman visited a North Korean ski resort on Thursday with dictator Kim Jong Un as a statement was issued on the former player's behalf apologising for comments he made about an American jailed by Pyongyang.

A source with direct knowledge of Rodman's itinerary said the 52-year old took a helicopter to a new multimillion dollar resort which is one of Kim's showcase projects and which has been condemned as a waste of money in a country where most people are malnourished.
