Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- The Songju Committee for Struggle against THAAD Deployment, the Kimchon Citizens Measure Committee against THAAD Deployment and other organizations of south Korea called a press conference on March 28 to urge the "National Assembly" to halt the deployment of THAAD.

Speakers said that some equipment for the deployment of "THAAD" was introduced into south Korea even before the site for the deployment was offered to the U.S. forces, all illegal actions.

They contended that the NA should form an ad hoc committee at once to demanding the disclosure of information by all means and opt for comprehensive verification.
