Dozens of South Korean protesters forcefully entered a U.S. military base in the country today, demanding the arrest of two American soldiers involved in a traffic incident that resulted in the deaths of two Korean girls. A U.S. military spokesperson stated that about 50 protesters cut through the barbed wire surrounding the Camp Red Cloud, located south of Seoul, the capital, and chained themselves together before South Korean police removed them from the camp. Last week, the two American soldiers were acquitted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the deaths of the two girls, who were killed in June after being struck by a military vehicle.
