Thank you.
South Korean demonstrators have burned North Korean flags and demanded that the South send combat troops to Iraq to strengthen its alliance with the US.
Brief scuffles erupted when police tried in vain to stop the demonstrators from burning two North Korean flags and a picture of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. No injuries were reported.
"Let's strengthen the South Korea-US alliance by sending troops to Iraq," the 70 demonstrators chanted. "Let's bring down Kim Jong Il."
Today's demonstration contrasted with an anti-war rally a day earlier when 2,000 South Koreans marched in downtown Seoul to oppose what they called the US occupation of Iraq and persuade the government against sending troops.
