Some 900 members of veterans, civic, and Christian groups held an "Anti-North Korean Nuclear Weapons, Opposition to USFK Withdrawal March" in Pyeongtek, Gyeonggi Province, in front of Osan US Air Force Base, Wednesday.

The leaders of the march said that serious consequences would be brought about by a USFK withdrawal, and that North Korea should abandon its nuclear weapons program immediately to ensure peace on the the Korean peninsula.

Min Se-gi, who organized the march said that he was worried that the recent candlelight demonstrations had been seen as anti-American protests. (Baek Seung-jae, whitesj@chosun.com )
