He gave Khomeini an uncommonly aggressive lecture about insisting that the West was responsible for the uprising. Said Sharietmadari: "Everything that happens in this country should not be blamed on 'international Zionism and imperialism.' The legitimate demands...
...first it seemed to be a case of delayed judicial prosecution. General Chung, a political moderate with an impeccable military record, was long rumored to have been involved in plans against Park's authoritarian rule. As dis closed by confidential sources to TIME five weeks ago, Chung was alleged to have supported the plot against Park hatched by Korean Central Intelligence Agency Chief Kim Jae Kyu-but he had not bargained on assassination (TIME...
