Lee Myung Bak Regime's Move to Tighten Sanctions Slammed
Pyongyang, February 15 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet regime's move to tighten the "sanctions" against the DPRK in collusion with foreign forces is a serious provocative move to drive the situation on the Korean Peninsula into a touch-and-go situation, says Rodong Sinmun Friday in a bylined article.

It continues:

The nuclear test of the DPRK was a sovereign state's exercise of its legitimate right to self-defense.

It is a just self-defence to counter a robber holding a dagger in kind.

The south Korean conservative group is, however, recklessly taking the lead in the moves to do harm to compatriots, instead of rejoicing and feeling proud of their satellite launch for peaceful purposes as members of the same nation.

The "sanctions" against the DPRK precisely mean a war action and a declaration of war.

If the regime persistently tightens the "sanctions", pursuant to the policy of the U.S., it will only invite a merciless retaliatory strike of the DPRK at the strongholds of all forms of "sanctions" including inspection of vessels and sea blockade.

The group of traitors is fated to meet a miserable end.
