HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam - Former exiled South Vietnamese premier Nguyen Cao Ky returned Wednesday to the communist country he fled nearly three decades ago, marking his first homecoming trip since the Vietnam War ended.

Ky, 73, of Hacienda Heights, Calif., arrived in Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat Airport with his wife, daughter and three friends, becoming one of the best-known political figures from the former U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government to return.

The host of a Vietnamese variety show is under siege for supporting her father's decision to return to Vietnam, a country he fled as it fell to the Communists nearly 30 years ago.
