This story doesn't make me feel that Yongsan is secured too well.
Quote:
South Korean police have taken a woman into custody who claimed that night that she started the fire. She has not been charged and has refused to answer questions from police about how she got on base, Oh said.
The service corps employees — two managers and three workers — were returning to their office shortly after midnight to sleep after a night of dinner, drinking and Korean-style karaoke, Lee and others have told police since the March 16 fire.
But Lee also told police he found the gate, called Gate 22, unlocked, and police suspect another service corps manager who was ahead of Lee also failed to secure the gate, which is near Yongsan Garrison’s Gate 1 and the scene of the fire.
The fire was first reported shortly after 1:30 a.m. It drew nearly 200 firefighters and took more than three hours to bring under control. It swept through three buildings, two on Yongsan Garrison and a third on the Korean Service Corps compound.

What were all the anti-protest police doing? There are hundreds of them walking around. Don't any of them check the gates to see if they are locked? Finally, this goes to show when you continue to spew anti-U.S. hatred, many of your citizens will act in a violent way. There are many groups in South Korea that are Pro-North Korea or simply want the U.S. to leave. People like President Roh keep spewing anti-U.S. rhetoric and this is why people go onto Yongsan and burn down buildings.
