A furious man tried burning down a Japanese cultural center in Seoul after getting mad about history books. The angry guy walked into the Japan Foundation building Wednesday morning carrying a lighter and paint thinner. Security guards jumped him before he could start any fires. Police grabbed the 60-year-old suspect and plan to get an arrest warrant Thursday. He told cops he hated how Japan keeps lying about what happened during the war.

The Japan Foundation runs a library filled with Japanese books and cultural stuff. Korea and Japan keep fighting about what really happened when Japan controlled Korea decades ago. Japanese textbooks make it sound like they were nice to Korean workers during World War Two. The books also claim Japan has rights to Korean islands called Dokdo.

Japan changed how they talk about the women they forced into sexual slavery during the war. They want textbooks to call them comfort women instead of military comfort women. Korean President Lee Jae Myung blasted Japan for twisting the truth about history. He met with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba last month and both leaders promised to work together better. They avoided talking directly about their history fights during the meeting.
