MAEHYANGRI, South Korea - The U.S. Air Force A-10 Warthog jet roared out 
of the haze, streaked over wooded hills, rice paddies, factories and 
houses, dove toward its target - and pulled up and away over the Yellow 
Sea without firing. The small cluster of protesters yelled, waved fists and
cheered.

''We stopped them,'' one of their leaders shouted over a loudspeaker 
from the top of a small building on the prow of a slope overlooking the 
Kuni range.

Below, racing toward the four distant targets with their huge black 
bull's-eyes, the tiny figures of half a dozen protesters were visible, 
one of them carrying a huge white flag.

A second A-10 dove low, then also pulled up as guards pursued these 
protesters, who had managed to slip through a barbed-wire fence and 
crawl unseen through fields of corn to reach the edge of the range.

''Demolish the target,'' the protesters outside the fence cheered in the 
face of lines of several hundred helmeted policemen, carrying shields 
and truncheons, blocking their way onto the range.
