A former South Korean army commando sticks a knife into the jaws of a dog's head during an anti-Japanese protest near the Japanese embassy in Seoul yesterday. The protest marked the anniversary of a peaceful mass uprising against Japanese colonial rule in 1919. Knives were stuck in the dog heads to symbolize five key Korean `traitors' during Japanese colonial rule from 1910 to 1945. South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun yesterday urged Japan to stop glossing over its wartime past so the two countries could become friends.
