The statement said that the despicable attempt of the U.S. and south Korean regime to perpetrate hideous state-sponsored terrorism by use of traitors and other human scum can never be pardoned.

The statues of the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and grand monuments in the DPRK reflect boundless reverence of the Korean people for them and the feats of the anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners and the war veterans, it said, and went on:

Demolishing the statues and monuments is a grave challenge to the Korean people and a criminal act to write off the revolutionary tradition and history of Korea.

The recently disclosed plot of terrorism was hatched under the sponsorship of the U.S.

The U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet regime are going to stifle Korean socialism.

The DPRK is a country deeply rooted in the unbreakable single-minded unity of the leader, party and people with the great Juche idea as guidelines.

The U.S. imperialists should know this and get their hands off Korea at once.

We call upon followers of the Juche idea, Songun idea to disclose the truth behind terrorist plot of the U.S. imperialists and south Korean regime against the DPRK, and oppose it.
