Retired NBA star Dennis Rodman arrived in Beijing Saturday on his way home after a five-day visit to North Korea during which he said he met with the North\'s leader, Kim Jong-un, to discuss \"peace and sports.\" Rodman\'s trip to North Korea this week, his second there since earlier this year, came just days after Pyongyang abruptly canceled its invitation for a senior U.S. diplomat to visit the country to secure the release of a jailed American man. Despite media speculation that Rodman, with his personal ties to the North Korean leader, may help win freedom for Kenneth Bae, he left the country apparently without any word about his future.
