Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a bylined article.

The Lee group's ceaseless hideous provocations are a clear indication of its evermore undisguised confrontation with compatriots, the article says, adding:

There were dialogue and contact between the north and the south in the period of military dictatorship and even the ill-famed "civilian" dictator officially used the word "compatriots" although it sounded hypocritical. And there have been successive confrontation-minded maniacs in south Korea, but no group of traitors has so totally torpedoed inter-Korean dialogue and contact and heaped such unspeakable malignant vituperation on compatriots as the Lee group.

These facts go to clearly prove that the Lee group is the most wicked group of traitors in history and the confrontation-minded maniacs without an equal in the world.

It is the Koreans in the north and the south who will suffer disasters owing to the Lee group's provocation of a war of aggression against the north.

Those who love the country and the nation and want the peace and reunification should turn out as one in the just patriotic struggle to bury the Lee group in the grave of history and achieve the country's reunification, irrespective of ideology and ism, political view and religious belief.

Doing so alone would bring a bright future of the reunified and prosperous nation.
