(Yonhap Feature) Returned base remains idle due to pollution

   By Lee Chi-dong
UIJEONGBU, South Korea, Nov. 2 (Yonhap) -- Handed back to South Korea several months ago, a former American military base, Camp Kyle, remains a no-use area.

Only a small group of South Korean soldiers wearing anti-contamination suits and jackboots can be seen as they work to curb the spread of pollution in the vast land in the heart of this city, just north of Seoul.
