(2nd LD) Koreans rally against U.S. beef imports

SEOUL, July 5 (Yonhap) -- Tens of thousands of angry South Koreans, including religious leaders, rallied in the rain in central Seoul on Saturday, accusing their government of resuming U.S. beef imports without addressing health risks associated with the move.

Anti-government protests have been held almost daily since early May following an April deal under which South Korea lifted almost all import restrictions on U.S. beef critics argue may be tainted with mad cow disease.
