Hundreds of protesters clashed with police Sunday near the U.S. Embassy in Seoul during a demonstration against the country’s plans to send more troops to Iraq.
“We are against war! We are against America!” the demonstrators chanted, ripping up a large replica of a U.S. flag before attempting to charge through police blockades. Officers in riot gear sprayed water at the demonstrators, who jabbed back with flagpoles.
About 5,000 demonstrators demonstrated to urge President Roh Moo Hyun to not send the troops.
