DPRK to Settle Accounts with S. Korean Group for Its Hideous Provocations

Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- The army and people of the DPRK will never pardon the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors which pushed the north-south relations to an irreparable phase but launch a nationwide all-out offensive to put an end to its anti-DPRK confrontation moves and achieve the historic cause of national reunification, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined article.

The Lee group's recent hideous provocation against the DPRK was an inevitable product of its moves for confrontation against reunification and a grave challenge to the inviolable dignity and system of the DPRK, the article said.

It went on:

Political and military provocations have been committed nonstop against the DPRK in south Korea but never has there been such a hideous case as daring to slander the dignity of the leadership of the DPRK before.

The Korean people regard the dignity of the country as the honor common to the nation and will turn out to defend it even though the sky may fall down and the earth break apart.

The Lee group is dreaming of pulling down the dignified socialist system in the DPRK in case of "contingency". Its politically-motivated provocation has lashed the Korean nation into a great fury.

Its moves to invade the DPRK by force while negating the idea and system of the fellow countrymen have already gone beyond the tolerance limit. There is no need to sit face to face with this group but only settling accounts with it by dint of arms remains to be done.
