Heralding an extensive round-up of anti-Japanese agitators in Shanghai, Japanese Consular Police arrested two Koreans at 11 o'clock on Tuesday night in the French Concession for alleged nationalist activities and participation in the Hongkew bombing outrage of 1932.
The arrests, which were made in ce-operation with the Concession police, were revealed yesterday morning With the lifting of a secrecy ban on the case.
According to reports the two Koreans, aged about 42, are alleged to be leaders of rebellious Koreans agitating for independence, and perpetrators of the bombing in Hongkew Park on April 29, 1932, in which Gen, Yoshinori Shirakawa was fatally wounded.
Japanese police obtained clues which led to the arrest of the Koreans following the capture of Genseki Kin for the pistol shooting of Mr. Konei Ri, Chairman of the Korean Residents' Association, at the Cafe Nandesuka near Bubbling Well Road some time ago.
