Korean War

A South Korea investigative commission-Truth and Reconciliation Commission-has "confirmed" that dozens of children were murdered by South Korean forces during the early days of the war there. South Korean leftists and "supposed sympathizers' were targeted for fear that they might aid the North Korean forces when they invaded. It is estimated that 100,000 were killed and buried at sea or in abandoned mine shafts. The information was found in "classified US files" kept secret for over 50 years. Survivors and family members are seeking an apology from the government and the US for its "direct and indirect...involvement in the killings". US records show that US officers were present at some of the killing sites. There might be 168 sites across the country.
