Fidel Castro Ruz Comments on "Cheonan" Case
Pyongyang, June 9 (KCNA) -- Fidel Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban revolution, in an article titled "The Empire and the Lie" contributed to the June 4 issue of Granma expressed his view on the sinking of warship "Cheonan" of the south Korean puppet navy.

He cited the following information sources disclosing the United States' deceptive nature of the case of the warship sinking:

"The sources suspect that the attack on warship 'Cheonan' was a false flag operation orchestrated by the U.S. to make believe the attack was coming from north Korea."

"One of the U.S main purposes of increasing tension in the Korean Peninsula was to put pressure on Japanese Prime Minister Hatoyama to make him change his policy on the U.S. forces base. Hatoyama has admitted that tensions over the sinking of the 'Cheonan' had a significant influence on his decision to allow the U.S. marines to stay in Okinawa."

"As the 'Cheonan' was sunk, there were four ships of the U.S. Navy in the sector, as part of the U.S.-South Korea exercise Foal Eagle. An investigation into the metal and chemical traces of the suspicious 'torpedo' shows that they are not the DPRK's."

"The presence of the USS 'Salvor,' one of the ships taking part in the Foal Eagle, so close to the Paekryong Islet during the sinking of the south Korean warship raises questions, too."

In the final analysis, the U.S. could do too easily such big job, ie, the operation to eliminate the coalition government of Hatoyama but it is paying a very dear price for what it has done, he observed.

The political leaders and the world public opinion have proof of the cynicism and absolute lack of scruples that characterize the United States' imperial policy, he stressed.
