Rodong Sinmun Accuses U.S., S. Korea of Justifying Illegal Introduction of Anthrax
Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) -- Days ago, the south Korea-U.S. joint group opened to public the result of the joint investigation into the illegal introduction of live anthrax into south Korea by the U.S.

The result showed that the U.S. forces in south Korea have conducted experiments and drills since 2009 after introducing the anthrax samples in top secrecy.

It is over ten times that anthrax was brought to the U.S. military base in Ryongsan over the past six years till the last year. It was later revealed that anthrax samples as well as pest samples were sent to the U.S. air force base in Osan in April.

Rodong Sinmun Monday says in a commentary that this brings to light the criminal plan of the U.S. and south Korean authorities to plunge the Korean nation into the disastrous germ warfare in wanton violation of international law. It goes on:

What is more intolerable is that during the investigation the U.S. and south Korean authorities floated groundless rumors that the north might "use anthrax and pest germs in terrorist acts and an all-out war," and agreed to "boost cooperation in coping with biological weapons." This is the manifestation of a dangerous scheme to justify their illegal introduction of anthrax and translate into reality their ambition for invading the north by using germ weapons in contingency under the pretext of non-existent "threat of biological weapons from the north".

They should never be allowed to justify their criminal acts and calm down the public indignation by glossing over the illegal introduction of anthrax and floating rumors.
