President Bush relayed his apologies to the country, through the US ambassador to South Korea, Mr. Thomas Hubbard, for the tragic deaths of two teenage girls just outside of Seoul, last June. Earlier in the day, the two US soldiers acquitted of negligent homicide in the deaths of two Korean school girls, offered an official apology on Wednesday. The driver and navigator of a U.S. armoured vehicle which crushed two school girls in June, offered their deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. The driver of the vehicle said he feels great remorse over the tragedy even though it was an accident. A spokesperson for the US forces in Korea acknowledged recent news reports that the navigator applied for a discharge from the army, and that Walker has requested a transfer to an outfit based outside South Korea. The driver and navigator of a US vehicle were found not guilty of negligent homicide, in a June accident in which two 14 year old school girls were crushed while walking on a village road.
