Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a by-lined commentary.

It goes on:

It is nobody's secret that Lee Myung Bak group has so far hatched a criminal plot to eliminate the ideology and system of the DPRK, talking about what it called "contingency". Its foolish scenario was more clearly proved by what it did during the nation's mourning over the great loss. The conservative group kicked up such fuss as issuing an "emergency alert order" and proclaiming "emergency posture" after misjudging the situation so seriously that it claimed the "contingency" was about to take place immediately as expected. It, at the same time, worked hard to destabilize the DPRK through an anti-DPRK psychological warfare.

The DPRK has upheld their leader with loyalty but the puppet group worked hard to hurt the faith and will of its people and gravely infringed upon their dignity, vociferating about "separate counter-action." For these crimes alone the group deserves to be hacked to pieces.

In a nutshell, what the group perpetrated this time is the thrice-cursed crimes putting into the shade the crimes committed by traitor Kim Young Sam, "civilian"-veiled dictator in 1994.

We know too well that the above-said reckless acts were planned and perpetrated by traitor Lee. He is the root cause of the collapse of the inter-Korean relations and all calamities.

As we declared before, we will never pardon the unethical crimes and treachery of the Lee group but finally settle accounts with it unless it apologizes for its crimes, their knees bent before us.

The nation will never gloss over the recent big treason committed by the south Korean conservative group but keep strict tabs on it.
