Lee Myung Bak Group Accused of Anti-Reunification Acts
Pyongyang, June 17 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak group regarded the landmark events that took place in the inter-Korean relations after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration as a thorn in its flesh. It has brought the north-south relations to a total collapse and frantically pursued acts of treachery to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK, backed by outside forces. These crimes are unpardonable. Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes this in a signed article.

It goes on:

The desperate moves of the present south Korean puppet authorities to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen in violation of the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration deprived the Korean nation of the precious results gained in the development of the inter-Korean relations after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration.

The puppet group has insisted on its policy of confrontation, malignantly slandering the above-said declarations as "pro-communist documents benefiting the enemy." As a result, dialogues and negotiations for implementing the declarations had already stopped more than two years ago.

All the north-south cooperation undertakings including the tour of Mt. Kumgang which had brought the hope of reunification and joy to all the fellow countrymen were scuttled and the cooperation between nongovernmental organizations came to an end.

The Lee group has brutally suppressed all the progressive pro-reunification patriotic forces for the mere reason that they opposed its anti-reunification "policy towards the north".

There is nothing left in the inter-Korean relations after the group came to power. If there be anything, it is the only danger of a war of aggression against the DPRK. The whole land of Korea once shook with shouts of slogan "We are one." But the case of "Cheonan's" sinking, an anti-DPRK farce for confrontation orchestrated by the Lee group of traitors, created such grave situation in the land that a war may break out any moment.
