Lee Myung Bak Group Accused of Escalating Confrontation

Pyongyang, May 28 (KCNA) -- The south Korean conservative group announced such undisguised anti-DPRK steps over the case of its warship sinking as "disapproval of travel to the north", "reference of the case to the UNSC" and "start of psychological warfare against the north" in the wake of its publication of the "results of investigation" in which it groundlessly linked the case with the DPRK. This indicates that the group is escalating the confrontation with fellow countrymen.

Minju Joson Friday observes this in a signed commentary.

It was a trite method of the successive ruling quarters of south Korea to cook up a shocking case and kick off a racket for confrontation whenever they were driven into a bottomless pitfall, it notes, and says:

The same is the case with the Lee Myung Bak conservative group. The group has become a target of curse and denunciation by the people and has been driven into a serious ruling crisis for having enforced a treacherous, anti-reunification and unpopular rule since it came to power. It, therefore, announced such "sanctions" and has stepped up the moves to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK in a bid to divert elsewhere the people's hatred for it and tide over the ever-deepening ruling crisis.

But this will only precipitate its self-destruction as it is nothing but the last-ditch effort of those on the deathbed.

The Koreans will force the conservative group to pay dearly for getting frantic with the confrontation with fellow countrymen after cooking up even the shocking case that claimed the lives of 46 innocent seamen at one time.
