The statement recalled that a spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army issued a statement strongly denouncing the Lee Myung Bak group for having set up a target slandering the supreme dignity of the DPRK and fired at it,

This never-to-be-condoned monstrous crime by the confrontation maniacs is unprecedented in the world, it said, charging that the group did such atrocity while calling for talks.

It is the unanimous will of the nation to no longer overlook the DPRK-targeted war exercises and anti-reunification moves of the Lee Myung Bak group, the statement said.

It stressed that all the people in the south should punish the prime movers of this heinous treachery and wage a decisive struggle against the confrontation maniacs after setting them as its first target to root out the source of war.
