S. Korean Authorities' Humiliating Action under Fire
Pyongyang, February 22 (KCNA) -- The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification in south Korea called a news conference in Seoul on Feb. 17 blasting the puppet authorities for taking a humiliating action as regards the disposal of scrapped ammunition of the U.S. forces.

The above-said organization recalled it was disclosed by media recently that more than half of the scrapped ammunition taken over from the U.S. forces present in south Korea according to the 2008 agreement is condemned one.

Accusing the "Defence Ministry" of excusing itself that it took over only useful ammunition, the organization noted that the assertion of the military authorities is a sheer lie as it totally lacks plausibility in the light of the fact that the term of storage of most of the above-said ammunition expired long ago.

The organization made it clear that the U.S. deputy secretary of State had already sent a message to the "minister of Defence" of south Korea admitting the problem concerning the scrapped ammunition.

This notwithstanding, the military authorities agreed to accept the above-said ammunition, the organization noted, deploring that this action resulted in bringing a great benefit to the U.S. while causing an enormous loss to south Korea.

It demanded that those responsible for making such a humiliating agreement be punished and renegotiations be conducted to set right the wrong agreement.
