Japan, Accomplice of US in Preparation of Korean War
Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA) -- Japan was an accomplice of the U.S. imperialists in the Korean war ignited by the latter in the 1950s.

The United States, going against international law, connived at the rearmament of Japan, a war criminal seeking to revive its "great empire", and urged the militarist forces of Japan to fully cooperate with it in its war preparations against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Remnants of the Japanese "imperial army", which gained notoriety in continental aggression, were embraced in the MacArthur Command to map out a plan of operations for the Korean war.

The completed operation plan was sent to the U.S. Command in Japan in early 1950 and then to the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, almost untouched.

They were also ordered to remake the "espionage plan" worked out by the south Korean military just before starting the Korean war.

They totally examined the DPRK-based spies' whereabouts and their missions, activities and liaison system in the war and planned to dispatch more spies extensively, even religious persons being included.

Officers of the defunct Japanese army helped south Korea in organizing and training its army and invited south Korean officers to Japan to teach them combat methods.

Under the manipulation of the U.S. imperialists, a Japanese unit was brought to south Korea and the reorganization of the "imperial army", which had participated in the Pacific War, was on the move with utmost secrecy in the name of "recruitment of volunteers" on the directives of the commander of the U.S. forces in the Far East and the reactionary government of Japan.

At the behest of the U.S. imperialists, Japan also planned to launch a germ warfare against the Korean people.

The Japanese reactionaries are still pursuing an anti-DPRK policy in league with the United States and south Korea.
