Monstrous Crimes Committed by U.S. in Korean War

     Pyongyang, July 16 (KCNA) -- The anti-U.S. feelings are growing stronger among the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the month (June 25-July 27) of anti-U.S. joint struggle. During the three-year-long Korean war the U.S. imperialists indiscriminately bombed and bombarded all the cities and rural communities in the northern half of Korea in wanton violation of the international conventions on war including the Geneva convention on protecting civilians in war time adopted in 1949.
    They perpetrated more than 1,400 times of bombing to drop more than 428,000 bombs on Pyongyang, leveling all the industrial establishments, educational, cultural and public health institutions and dwelling houses and killing a large number of citizens.
    In the early period of the war, they massacred some 22,600 innocent people in eleven towns and counties including Suwon and Chungju.
    They brutally murdered more than a million civilians in south Korea in the first one year of the war and millions of people in the whole period of the war.
    During some fifty days of their occupation of Sinchon County in the north they slaughtered 35,380 people, one fourth of the county population. The dead include 16,200-odd children, old people and women.
    In its investigation report on the atrocities committed by GIs in the northern part of Korea, the Women's International Democratic Federation disclosed that the massacre and torture perpetrated by them in the temporarily occupied areas were crueler than those done by Hitler Nazis in Europe.
    The U.S. used even germ and chemical weapons in Korea.
    In the beginning of 1952, they launched a bacteriological warfare against the whole area of the north.
    In the period from January to March 1952, they made 804 raids on 169 places with various kinds of germ bombs.
    The number of the aircraft mobilized in the bacteriological warfare was one fourth of those sent to bomb the northern half of Korea and it exceeded 480 at maximum in a day.
    The U.S. imperialists used more than 20 kinds of germ weapons in the war.
    It, aimed at the genocide of the Korean nation, was a monstrous crime unprecedented in the world history of war.
