A US ambassador was slashed with a razor blade form a man in his 50s by the name on Kim which is a very common name but that is all the police released about the incident. Mark Lippert is the ambassador to South Korea and was attending a breakfast in Seoul. He is in stable condition at a local hospital recovering. The Seoul police said that Lippert was slashed in the right check and hand with the razor. The suspect was reported to be opposed of the joint South Korea US military drills that were lanced earlier this week. Spokeswomen Marie Harf said that the Ambassador was attacked when he was giving a speech. " We strongly condemn this act of violence. The ambassador is being treated at a local hospital. His injuries are not life threatening," she said. A witness said that the man who attacked Lippert came up behind him and pushed him on the table and started attacking him. Obama called to tell the ambassador that he and his wife are in his thoughts and prayers.
