Radical South Korean students hurled firebombs and tear-gas grenades at an American cultural center in the sixth attack on a U.S. facility in five months, officials said. Three students were arrested after throwing homemade explosives, Molotov cocktails and tear-gas grenades at the American Cultural Center in Taegu, 155 miles southeast of Seoul. There were no injuries and only minor damage to the building. The attack in Taegu came amid days of scattered protests demanding an end to the U.S. presence in South Korea and a reopening of reunification talks with Communist North Korea.
