Korean-American Says He Targeted U.N. to Bring Attention to N.K.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New York, Oct. 4 (Yonhap) -- Steve Kim, the Korean-American arrested Thursday for firing seven shots into the air in front of the U.N. Headquarters compound, said he did it to bring international attention to the plight of the North Korean people.
According to the local press, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report said Kim chose the United Nations as the site because he believed the United Nations is partially responsible for the suffering of North Korean citizens.
As for the UN being partly responsible for the woes of North Korea, he's right. The UN is only good for prolonging misery and protecting dictators.
