South Korean riot police, firing tear gas, stormed the American Cultural Center in Pusan to end a brief occupation by 21 students who burst into the building shouting “Yankee go home!” U.S. Embassy officials in Seoul said two policemen suffered minor injuries in the incident. The students were armed with gasoline-bottle bombs and pipes when they occupied the building, which houses the U.S. Consulate and a U.S. Information Agency office. It was the second time the building has been invaded by radical students opposed to South Korean President Chun Doo Hwan, a U.S. ally.
