South Korea’s opposition leader stabbed in neck

South Korea’s opposition party chief Lee Jae-myung has been stabbed in the neck during a visit to the southern port city of Busan on Tuesday.

Mr Lee, 59, was suddenly attacked by a male assailant while he was talking to reporters at a construction site of a new airport on Busan’s Gadeok island.

Disturbing footage of the attack shows Mr Lee in the centre of a jostling crowd of reporters holding digital recorders and television cameras.

  1. Don't tell me…Is this another Russian plot to inflame tensions between North and South Korea?

    No motivation stated by the attacker? Better find out if he was paid amd trace that money.

  2. I think they fail to realize that if he dies, it would make him a martyr. Making whatever they were attempting to do backfire
