KRVAVI NAPAD BRITVOM Pomahnitali Kim po licu i zapešću isjekao ambasadora SAD-a u Južnoj Koreji

Pomahnitali muškarac naoružan britvom nasrnuo je u četvrtak u centru Seula na američkog veleposlanika u Južnoj Koreji Marka Lipperta (42).

Prema prvim informacijama, napadač je mašući britvom urlikao kako bi se Južna i Sjeverna Koreja morale ujediniti, a zatim je oštricom napao diplomata i posjekao ga po licu i zapešću.

Ambasadoru je odmah niz lice potekla krv, no ubrzo je prebačen u bolnicu i čini se da nije životno ugrožen.

Napadač, koji je zasad identificiran samo kao 'Kim', uhićen je na mjestu događaja u blizini zgrade u kojoj je Lippert trebao sudjelovati na radnom doručku u sklopu jednog foruma.

On je, inače, na dužnost veleposlanika stupio lani, a prije toga bio je pomoćnik američkog ministra obrane.
