Japanese Reactionaries' Political Terrorism Denounced

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 4 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the central committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League in a statement issued Monday denounced the criminal act committed in Japan recently to seriously threaten the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and the lives and properties of the Koreans in Japan as deliberate and premeditated political terrorism intended to incite anti-Chongryon, anti-Korean sentiment among the Japanese and thus undermine Chongryon. He dismissed this incident as a deliberate provocation to the DPRK, Chongryon and Koreans committed under the tacit patronage and connivance of the Japanese government authorities.
    It is self-evident that such grave crimes as the recent undisguised terrorism against the Chongryon organizations could not be committed in an unbroken chain without the authorities' patronage and connivance in Japan styling itself a "law-governed state" and "anti-terrorist state," he said.
    The spokesman demanded the Japanese authorities clearly understand the basic spirit of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration and the trend of the present times, immediately drop their hostile policy towards the DPRK, ferret out the terrorists without delay and take necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.
