Pyongyang, February 10 (KCNA) -- The Council for National Reconciliation and Independent Reunification, the Society of People Working for Peace and Reunification and the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration in South Korea reportedly held a press conference in front of the U.S. embassy in Seoul on Feb. 6 to denounce the U.S. imperialists for their ever-more undisguised moves for a war.
Recalling that the united states is getting hell-bent on the arms buildup such as deciding to freeze the move of the U.S. troops present in South Korea who expired their service term and deploy aircraft carrier Carl Vinson and long-distance bombers in the areas around the Korean Peninsula, the organizations said that this arouses deep apprehensions as it is aimed to mount a preemptive attack on the north.
They noted that the U.S. is claiming that its arms buildup around the Korean Peninsula is intended to "make up a vacuum of combatant forces to cope with the Iraqi war and arrest an additional threat of the north" but it is no more than a scheme to quell the anti-U.S. sentiment of the Korean nation and conceal its intention for aggression against the north.
They strongly demanded the U.S. stop at once its base plot and come out to peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue of the north.
