    SEOUL—The head of South Korea’s opposition party was stabbed in the neck during a Tuesday visit to the port city of Busan.

Blood could be seen on his shirt collar. Lee was transported to a hospital within 20 minutes of getting attacked, Yonhap reported.

    Too bad he's still alive..... He's pro-N.Korea (and pro-China) and anti-America (and anti-Japan). He's a communist as well. Anyway, he will be jailed for a long time.

    He's a China puppet. Wants to remove THAAD which is essentially a LOW-system more than missile defense.
