NEW YORK — Six former South
Korean military officers were ar
rested for kidnaping and torturing
the acting leader of Rev. 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.

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.
