korea's foreign ministry on monday strongly condemned remarks made by a top japanese official
... who called korean independence fighter ahn jung-geun a terrorist.
earlier in the day japan's chief cabinet secretary yoshihide suga said that ahn was a terrorist
... in response to the opening of a memorial hall to honor the korean hero in the chinese
city of harbin. the foreign ministry said it was shocking
that a person who speaks on behalf of the japanese government made such ignorant remarks
that go against history. it said that ahn is a highly-respected figure
not only in korea but around the world for the sacrifice he made to achieve peace in
asia. in 1909 ahn shot and killed hirobumi ito the
japanese governor of korea at the time. the ministry said ito was the main culprit
who led japan's invasion of korea... and acc used the abe administration of glorifying
japan's imperialistic past.
