Holding the U.S. accountable for escalating the tension on the Korean Peninsula these days, the statement went on:

When the Yonphyong Island incident occurred, the U.S. instructed the nuclear-powered carrier George Washington to participate in the combined war exercises kicked off together with the puppet armed forces of south Korea.

This clearly indicates that the U.S. was a crafty criminal who deliberately planned the incident and wire-pulled it behind the scene.

The U.S. imperialists orchestrated the warship "Cheonan" case in a bid to keep its military base in Okinawa as it is.

We accuse the U.S. imperialists of persistently standing in the way of solving any issue related to peace and stability by escalating the military tension on the Korean Peninsula.

We demand the U.S. imperialists immediately roll back their hostile policy toward the DPRK.

We support all the self-defensive steps taken by the DPRK.
