Japanese protesters shout anti-North Korea slogans as they hold a
banner showing North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and his father Kim
Il-song, in front of a North Korean ferry as it arrives in the port of
Niigata in the northern city of Niigata, Japan September 4, 2003. The
North Korean ferry Mangyongbong-92 arrived on Thursday, defying
protesters to continue the trips in which it takes back goods and cash
seen as vital for the communist state's ailing economy. REUTERS/Issei
