Thousands mourn Koreans killed in bombing
By United Press International
SEOUL, South Korea — Hundreds of thousands of mourners, summoned by the wall of sirens, bowed their heads in prayer today at a state funeral for 17 South Koreans killed in the weekend bombing in Burma.
The death toll in the attack rose to 17 shortly before the services began in May.
Government officials said Vice Minister of Finance Lee Ki-uk, 47, died from chest and head injuries at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, where he was flown for treatment following the blast in Rangoon Sunday.
The officials said he would be included in the memorial service although his burial would not occur until Monday.
DEFENSE SECRETARY CASPAR Weinberger led a U. S. delegation at the funeral, and officials said delegations from 28 other nations attended.
Sirens wailed nationwide for one minute to mark the day of mourning and the start of silent prayers at 10 a.m. (8 p.m. CDT yesterday).
The service preceded burial at the Dongji-kang National Cemetery, the final resting place for South Korea's national heroes and war dead.
North Korea denied as "proposterous and ridiculous" South Korean charges that it was responsible for the bombing. Four South Korean cabinet members were among those killed, along with four Burmese nationals.
South Korean President Chun Doo Hwan survived the weekend bombing because a traffic jam delayed his scheduled arrival for a wreath-laying ceremony at Burma's National Cemetery.
HE PUT THE 600,000-strong South Korean army on alert, and North Korea also increased combat readiness along the seabed. The American servicemen are based. No
incidents were reported, but the region remained tense.
The South Korean charge d'affaires in Rangoon said in a report to the Foreign Ministry in Seoul that Burmese authorities thought that the attack was the work of five North Korean assassins.
The Burmese government said its security forces had killed one "Korean" terrorist and captured two others.
One of the captured men triggered a hand grenade that killed three Burmese policemen and left him seriously wounded, a government statement said. It did not say whether the Korean soldiers were from the north or the south.
Seoul officials said Burmese police, assisted by South Korean experts, found a remote control device and 16 Japanese-made batteries used to detonate bombs attached to the ceiling of a memorial to Burma's national heroes.
