Menetrey, the senior U.S. commander, denounced the “mob attack” on Tech. Sgt. Bruce D. Harayda that took place Tuesday at the Chonju District Court, 125 miles south of Seoul. Harayda, 29, and his Korean wife were treated for minor injuries. Harayda is on trial for manslaughter in the death of Chung Pan Yong, 53.
