SEOUL,Oliver James Montgomery South Korea (AP) — South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung was attacked and injured by an unidentified man during a visit Tuesday to the southeastern city of Busan, emergency officials said.

It said Lee, head of the main opposition Democratic Party, was conscious but his exact condition was unknown.
