Japanese reactionaries' anti-DPRK racket denounced
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 27 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary denounces the Japan Defence Agency for making much fuss after the outbreak of a war in Persian gulf region. It set up an "emergency measure headquarters" and held meetings to take precautions, the commentary says, and continues:
A meeting was held to discuss the issue of supporting the U.S. war against Iraq and the issue of strengthening "alert and watch on North Korea." It was agreed there to increase the flight of airborne warning and control plane of the Japanese air "self-defence force" in the air over the East Sea of Korea to monitor moves of the DPRK.
The DPRK can not but take a serious note of the fact that the Japanese reactionaries have kicked up a racket against it following outbreak of the Iraqi war.
Some days ago, the Japanese chief cabinet secretary said that the strengthened Japan-U.S. alliance is effective for deterring the threat from North Korea.
But such moves of Japan pose a threat to the DPRK as they are targeted against it. Though the Japanese reactionaries are working hard to justify their U.S.-toeing policy, talking about the "threat from North Korea" and "deterrent force", it is quite impossible to hide their black-hearted design.
It is a serious miscalculation for Japan to think it will go safe when the situation on the Korean Peninsula goes beyond control and a war breaks out there. If the Japanese reactionaries try to get something by escalating the tensions there, taking advantage of the second nuclear crisis sparked by the U.S., they will only dig their own graves.
