Police arrested six student activists of the Federation of Korean University Student Councils at 8:50am Wednesday as they tried to climb the building complex in Yeouido housing the Boeing Corporation's offices in a protest against President George W. Bush's visit. The six climbed the five-storey building to hang 20m banners saying "No War! No F-15! We want peace FKUSC."

Police obtained information Tuesday that some students were going to attempt a sit-in protest in the building and placed some 20 policemen there from 2:00pm, some hours before Bush arrived in South Korea.
