Anti-DPRK and Anti-Chongryon Hostile Act under Fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries laid explosives at an organization of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and national financial institutions and fired bullets at them. These were premeditated and deliberate hostile acts seriously threatening the security of Chongryon and the safety and properties of Koreans in Japan, says Minju Joson today in a signed commentary. It goes on:
    What should not be overlooked is that the anti-Chongryon moves of the right-wing gangsters of Japan have become all the more undisguised, timed to coincide with the restart of the service of Mangyongbong-92 whose operation had been temporarily suspended.
    The Japanese public safety authorities created a terror-ridden atmosphere and took an unusual alert posture, talking about "strict counteraction" as regards the entry of Mangyongbong-92 into Niigata Port.
    The serious provocative acts were perpetrated against the Fukuoka Prefectural Headquarters of Chongryon and the Fukuoka Branch of the Nishi Credit Association of the Korean Bank just before the entry of the ship into the port and the criminal in the so-called "statement claiming responsibility" openly asserted that he took action to block the entry of the ship into Niigata Port.
    This goes to prove that the Japanese authorities are encouraging the right-wing reactionaries in their moves against the DPRK and Chongryon. The commentary urges the Japanese authorities to thoroughly probe the truth behind the criminal acts committed by the right-wing gangsters, severely punish those responsible for the crimes and take responsible measure to prevent the recurrence of such anti-DPRK and anti-Chongryon actions.
