U.S. Army Chief Visits No Gun Ri

The head of the U.S. Army met with alleged survivors of a reported mass killing of refugees by American soldiers during the Korean War and promised a thorough investigation. Army Secretary Louis Caldera made the pledge when he visited No Gun Ri, a hamlet in South Korea where alleged survivors say American soldiers killed hundreds of refugees in the first weeks of the Korean War in 1950. Caldera’s first visit to No Gun Ri was part of a U.S. government inquiry. He told a dozen alleged survivors that the United States “is committed to a thorough investigation.”
