Government prosecutors said criminal charges were filed against Jung Chung Rae, a senior at Seoul’s Konkuk University, and five others as a result of the Oct. 13 attack on the residence of U.S. Ambassador Donald Gregg in Seoul. The six students are accused of climbing over a stone wall, hurling homemade bombs at guards and smashing artwork and windows in Gregg’s living room. He and his wife escaped unharmed.
