it was almost six months that he was detained in north korea. his crime, according to authorities, he had left a bible in a seaman's club in the north port city. this is seen as a serious crime. they have state-controlled churches, but they certainly do not condone any nonstate sponsored activities. the kim regime very nervous about christianity and any other religions that they don't control. now, certainly what we have seen is something quite sudden and quite surprising. it effectively said as if pyongyang said, we're releasing him so come get him. washington sent a department of defense claim over to pyongyang. we saw it sitting on the tarmac that you don't often see, a u.s. plane sitting there. and he was taken to guam where the united states said he did undergo some evaluation and found to be, it appeared to be in good health. but they did also point out that he has been a prisoner in north

korea. he's likely to go through a debrief when he gets to the united states probably when he's been reunited with his family. but it is certainly an interesting development. north cree had been insisting that they wanted a high-level delegation to come and talk about these three u.s. citizens they have in detention. like we've seen in the past, ex-president, jimmy carter, bill clinton have secured the release of previous citizens. as far as we know, that didn't happen with jeffrey fowle but there are still two u.s. citizens in detention, john. >> paula, any indication why jeffrey fowle and not the other two citizens as you say, still being held in north korea? >> i was talking to a couple of north korean observers who watched the country for many years about this they said basically because maybe his crime was seen as a lesser crime. kenneth bae has been sentenced to 15 years hard labor. he's spent two years in the country. his crime, former missionary is
1:04 am
considered to be more grave, at least in the eyes of north korea. maybe that's the case. he had had this day in court, jeffrey fowle, so it was easier to be released. matthew and kenneth were both found guilty so it may be trickier. >> our congratulations to the family. we continue to think of the two men who are still being held. we have ebola news. two airline passengers who arrived in united states are underclothes watch in chicago. officials say they're both liberians, they arrived on separate planes, both vomited during their flights. neither, though, had a fever. they and their traveling companions are being isolated and screens at chicago-area hospitals. another liberian landed at newark with a fever and the cdc said he was isolated and being screened at a local hospital out here. according to the department of

1:07 am
exactly went wrong. do you think this is also a case of ebola had been in the news for the last six months or so, it is a deadly disease, trekked halfway around the world. was there a sense with the health care workers that it wasn't anything that was going to show up at our door step? >> i think that friend of mine awareness is hard to capture in the absence of real presence. i will tell you, we were worried up front about ebola. as i think anyone else, we looked, you know, starting in august and moving forward. but in the absence of ebola showing up in august, ebola showing up in early september, et cetera, it does become sort of isolated. >> let your guard down? >> i think you let your guard down a little bit on that. >> reporter: we asked dr. varga where exactly was this breakdown in communication. he said that one of the nurses that treated thomas eric duncan wrote down in his health record that he, quote, had came from
1:08 am
africa. but at the same time, one of the physicians treating him wrote down that he's a local resident. that he was showing no signs of vomiting, diarrhea or nausea and it hadn't been around sick persons. clearly, that led to the diagnosis. and dr. varga said they never trained properly and that there wasn't any simulation or training drills on how to handle an ebola patient that walked in off the street into their emergency room. new this morning, identifying the biggest threats to u.s. security. the former director of the national counterterrorism center matt olson told our jim sciutto that the khorasan group posed the most likely threat.
1:09 am
>> one of the homegrown violent lone offenders in the united states perhaps. and the rise of isis and the number of people going to syria, whether to fight with isis or just fighting the conflict there against assad. the likelihood, i think, does go up because of the number of people who are there who have gained some degree of training and radicalization. >> olsen said that the u.s. lost track of terrorists after snowden's nsa leaks. saying snowden changed the way terrorists train. the st. louis post dispatch said reports found that brown had marijuana in his system and that a wound to his hand as a result of a shot from close range. now this could support police officer's darren wilson's of the a struggle outside of his police cruiser before the shooting.

1:33 am
carter or bill clinton as has happened in the past to come negotiate for his release. but as far as we know, there was not anything like that. there wasn't an envoy. we're waiting on why they decided to do that. >> paula hancocks in seoul for us, thanks so much. we do have some ebola news this morning, two airline passengers who arrived in the united states are underclothes watch in chicago. officials say they are both liberians, they arrived on separate planes and both vomited during their flights. now, neither had a fever. still they and their traveling companions are being isolated and screened at chicago area hospitals. another liberian man landed at newark airport with a fever. the cdc says he's been isolated and screened at a local hospital. according to the department of homeland security website as of sunday, washington dulles airport had also referred four people to a medical facility for ebola screening.

1:37 am

1:38 am
fighting just in a conflict there against assad, the likelihood, i think, does go up. because of the number of people who are there who gained some degree of training and radicalization. >> olsen said that the united states lost track of terrorists after edward snowden's nsa leaks. he said snowden's revelations changed the way that terrorist communicate causing them to go further underground making it more difficult to track. breaking overnight, new details concerns michael brown's autopsy. it found that brown had marijuana in his system and a wound to his head was as a result of a shot to close range. now this could be the account of darren wilson's account of a struggle around the cruiser before the shooting. there's a national day of protest planned.grand jury decision on whether or not to indict officer wilson in the brown shooting is expected by
