Koje POW Demonstration
Results in One Red Killed
PUSAN, Korea, (AP)-American guards killed one North Korean prisoner and wounded 74 others in breaking up a demonstration on bloody Koje Island Sunday, the Army announced Tuesday.
No Americans were injured.
The Allied prisoner of war command said two platoons of U.S. infantry entered a 500-man compound and used bayonets and gun butts to restore order when the North Korean prisoners refused to break up a military drill.
The POW command said action was taken when it became obvious the prisoners had set up a "chain of intentional harrassment."
