SEOUL – The American ambassador to South Korea was injured in a politically motivated attack by a man wielding a razor on Thursday amid growing anti-U.S. tensions in the country.
Mark Lippert, the ambassador, was in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries at a Seoul hospital after he was attacked on his way to make a speech before a breakfast meeting, State Department officials and local police said.
The ambassador suffered cuts to his face and wrist.
Lippert was shown in news photos holding a cloth to his face as he walked to an emergency vehicle, and appeared to have been spattered with blood.
He was in stable condition at a nearby hospital, local news media reported.
Troops in S. Korea is a flashpoint for bad relations that make the situation in Okinawa look like a picnic.  The S. Koreans can defend itself.  Time to leave.
