SOUTH KOREA
S. Korean Activists Firebomb US Base

from Straits Times [Singapore] on Monday, November 25, 2002
SEOUL -- Dozens of activists hurled firebombs into a US military base early
on Monday, protesting last week's acquittals of two American soldiers
involved in the deaths of two Korean teenagers.

The attack on Camp Gray here, a small warehouse management facility manned
mostly by South Korean employees, caused no property damage or injuries, the
US military said.

South Korean police said one activist was arrested.

'It's understandable for people to express their views and opinions, but we
will not condone violent demonstrations which could cause injuries and
damage to facilities,' said military spokesman Lt-Col Steven Boylan.

Last week, Sgt Fernando Nino and Sgt Mark Walker were acquitted of negligent
homicide charges in the deaths of two 13-year-old school girls, who were hit
on June 13 by an armoured vehicle.

The duo who belong to the 2nd US Infantry Division, were on a training
mission when their vehicle struck the girls on a narrow rural road. The
girls were on their way to a birthday party.

The acquittals prompted an outcry from South Korean activists, who called
the trials a sham.

South Korean political parties have called for the revision of a US-South
Korean military accord to give Seoul enough jurisdiction in cases involving
American soldiers.

Currently, the US military has jurisdiction over American soldiers accused
of crimes while on duty, although it can allow South Korea to try them on a
case-by-case basis. -- AP
