The statement recalled that the U.S. forces drove an armored car over the two schoolgirls on roadside to death in June 2002.

Crimes by the U.S. forces in south Korea continue without letup such as murder, violence, robbery, environment pollution and war maneuvers, it charged.

This year alone witnessed the case of outrage on an old couple in Tongduchon of Kyonggi Province and defoliant burial cases, now being disclosed one after another, the statement noted, saying: They fully reveal the true colors of the vicious U.S. forces depending on war of aggression and plunder.

It expressed the resentment at the reality in which the pro-American sycophantic and treacherous forces are defending the U.S. forces' crimes under the unequal south Korea-U.S. "Status of Forces Agreement" while cracking down on the popular masses aspiring after independence against the U.S.

All the people will pool their efforts to wage a dynamic struggle to achieve independence against the U.S. and punish the treacherous regime and thus remove the U.S. military bases, hotbed of crimes, and drive out the U.S. troops from south Korea without fail, the statement said.
