Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church in a plot to extort $1 million in church funds, the FBI said Tuesday. FBI officials said the six, all for mer members of the South Korean army or marines, were charged with kidnaping Col. Bo Hi Pak, the Unifi cation Church’s director of publica tions and its leader since the impris onment of Rev. Moon in July on a tax evasion conviction. In his role as publication director, Pak oversees the Unification Church’s newspapers — the Wash ington Times and the New York City Tribune. He is a colonel in the South Korean Army. Court documents said Pak was leaving the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24 when he was approached by Yung Soo Sub, 48, who invited him to din ner. Pak accepted and got into a car driven by Su II Yi, 51, where he was met by several other Koreans who pulled guns, handcuffed and blind folded him. The FBI said Pak was held in a small house in Slate Hill, N.Y., 50 miles north of New York City. During his captivity, his captors questioned him and tortured him by administering electric shocks and firing pistols equipped with silencers near his face, the FBI said. The torture was administered “to make him believe threats that they would kill him if he did not agree to transfer a million dollars to a Swiss bank account,” said Lee Laster, assis tant director of the FBI in New York. Pak wired half that amount and on Sept. 25, was driven by two of his captors to La Guardia Airport and allowed to fly to Washington to fin ish the cash transfer. The FBI, which had learned of the kidnap several hours earlier, contacted Pak when he arrived in Washington and the money trans action was delayed and then canceled. Suh, Yi, Yung Keun Lee, 49, Gen. Sang Whi Nam, 59, Hyun Tae Yoo and Hong Lim Park were charged in the case. The suspects were taken into cus tody during the past five days. Suh was arrested in Tokyo; Lee and Nam in New York City; Yi, in Cliff side Park, N.J., Yoo in Chicago and Park in Fort Lee, N.J. The FBI said all the suspects had served in either the South Korean army or marines and were ac quainted. Laster declined to speculate on whether internal church politics or South Korean politics were involved but said, “We believe it was a strictly financial deal.” Laster said Pak is the father of eight children and lives in the Wash ington area. He became leader of the Unification Church, which claims 3 million members world wide, when Moon was jailed in Dan bury, Conn.

NOV. 28th at 7.-00 p.m. in ROOM 501 RUDDER Free Refreshments ...Everyone Welcome -r, v y The Athlete’s Foot Annual WAREHOUSE SALE Chile’s students protest policies J United Press Internationa] SANTIAGO, Chile — Riot police backed by armored vehicles and wa ter cannons clashed with demonstra tors Tuesday at the start of a mass protest against a state of siege de clared by Chile’s 1 1-year-old military government. The protests came after 13 bomb blasts, including a car bomb near the presidential palace, rocked the Chil ean capital Monday night. Nobody was reported injured in the explo sions. The government of President Au guste Pinochet deployed troops on the streets of Santiago and an nounced it would call up army re serves to combat the two-day protest called by groups opposed to military rule. Regular troops in jeeps and ar mored vehicles patroled most work ing class districts of the capital, and in some slum areas soldiers in com bat gear and blackened faces sat in hastily dug trenches. Police rammed a water cannon across walkways in the city’s business center at midday, firing jets of water to disperse several hundred demon strators who chanted anti-govern ment slogans. The protest was the first called by opposition groups since Pinochet imposed a state of siege Nov. 6 in a move to counter a mounting wave of unrest and violence. Riot police battled with students who hung up banners on university campuses calling for an end to the state of siege, but no arrests were re ported. “The regime cannot govern the country against the majority of its people,” said Socialist Ricardo La gos, leader of the center-left Demo cratic Alliance, one of the groups that called the protest. “The state of siege will not stop our struggle for democracy,” said Lagos, who led demonstrations along with Christian Democrats Ga briel Valdes and Andres Zaldivar. Armored personnel carriers mounted with heavy machine guns guarded main traffic intersections, as the government sought to prevent a repeat of last month’s protests when barricades of burning tires blocked public transport and brought the capital to a standstill. Officials accompanying Pinochet on a five-day visit to northern Chile said the troops were searching for terrorists and army reservists would be called up to back regular troops. Government spokesman Carlos Krumm said the government was keeping a close watch on news sto ries filed by foreign correspondents and warned that visas could be re voked if they misrepresented the sit uation. 1 m BAG A GREAT GIFT!
