Minju Joson Tuesday says this in a by-lined commentary.

It goes on:

The five islands in the West Sea and the waters around them are used by the puppet forces as their advanced base to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK.

It was exactly in that place where they fabricated the "Cheonan" warship sinking case and were hit hard while preempting shelling at the DPRK defying its repeated warnings.

It is needless to say that the five islands including Paekryong and Yonphyong Islands and the waters around them are not suitable for tourist destinations as they are fraught with constant danger of armed conflicts.

The Lee Myung Bak group's attempt to turn them into international tourist destinations despite this hard reality is not to make money and encourage those islanders who left them to come back there.

Lurking behind the above-said plan is to bring tourists there in a bid to justify and step up its moves to launch a war of aggression against the DPRK through false propaganda.

Through the above-said plan the puppet forces also seek to make the "northern limit line" an established fact.

The gravity of its tourist projects lies in that the group seeks to use the islanders and tourists as "human shields" in the confrontation with fellow countrymen.

Only the nation's stern punishment awaits the Lee group keen to use even tourism for the purpose of escalating the confrontation with compatriots.
