U.S. Outcries over "Missile Threat" under Fire

KCNA

Release Date: 10/03/2003

Pyongyang, October 2 (KCNA) -- Highly placed officials of the U.S. administration are these days cooking up a potage of rumor about "DPRK's missile threat", letting out terrific outcries that it has developed a new-type intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking at the whole of the U.S. mainland and it would pose a greater threat if the missile were tipped with a nuclear warhead. This only discloses its own hostile intention toward the DPRK. So says Minju Joson in a signed commentary today. It goes on:

Now the United States is misusing the fictitious "missile threat" of the DPRK for its sinister political purpose.

It is the hardcore of the U.S. policy toward the DPRK to crush it by isolating and stifling it in the international arena while putting military pressure on it.

What the U.S. seeks in setting afloat rumors about the DPRK's missile threat is to make the surrounding countries feel deeply alarmed and induce them to join its moves to stifle the DPRK. And it also has a mean scheme to promote its commercial interests under the pretext of the "threat".

The DPRK has no other option when it has been made clear that the United States is trying desperately to stifle it at any cost. The DPRK will increase its defense capability in every way to safeguard the security and dignity of the country and defend peace in northeast Asia.
