Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes this in a bylined article.

The hideous provocations of the Lee group betray its sinister aim to rattle the nerves of the DPRK and escalate the north-south confrontation and tensions and they are an inevitable product of its scenario for a war against it, the article notes, and goes on:

The history of the inter-Korean relations was characterized by its complicated nature. But never has there been such increasing danger of war due to the extreme pitch of confrontation as now.

Peace on the Korean Peninsula is seriously disturbed and the outbreak of a war is a matter of time due to the puppet warmongers' reckless provocations.

The final conclusion drawn under the present grave situation is that the Korean nation cannot live in peace even a moment as long as the rat-like Lee Myung Bak is allowed to go scot-free.

The three services of the revolutionary armed forces of Mt. Paektu are anxiously waiting for an order to wipe out the Lee group of traitors, the sworn enemy.

One's evil doings will rebound on oneself and evil acts are bound to invite merciless punishment.

The enemies whoever they may be and the rat-like group wherever it goes will not be able to escape retaliation of the army and the people of the DPRK.
