South Korean civic group representatives are in Los Angeles, the United States to continue their protest over the deaths of two school girls killed by a US military's armored vihecle in Korea. The delegation met with supporters right after arriving in the city in the west coast and ways to stage a demonstration there. They staged a four-day demonstration in front of the White House in Washington before flying to the last stop of their US tour. The protesters are calling for the nullification of the acquittal of the US soldiers and the revision of the Status of Forces Agreement. Two Korean school girls were run over in June by a US military vehicle which was manned by two American soldiers. The US court martial acquitted them of negligent homicide. The incident touched off fierce protests in South Korea.
