KCNA Blasts U.S. Smear Campaign against DPRK

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 21 (KCNA) -- The United States is persistently spreading a false rumor about the "transfer of nuclear technology" to the DPRK by a Pakistani scientist in a bid to make the story about Pyongyang's "enriched uranium program" sound plausible. The February 12 issue of the New York Times again carried misinformation that a Pakistani nuclear expert visited the DPRK more than 10 times at the end of the 1990s to help it in the technology of developing nuclear weapons based on enriched uranium. The story about the "enriched uranium program" much touted by the U.S. is nothing but a whopping lie. The US ultra- neo-conservatives fabricated it after having a confab for more than 10 days in the wake of U.S. presidential envoy Kelly's Pyongyang visit in October 2002.
    The story is nothing but a poor burlesque orchestrated against this backdrop.
    What matters is why the U.S. styling itself "the world's only superpower" has worked so desperately for years to paint the non-existent and unverifiable "enriched uranium program" as truth.
    Lurking behind it is an ulterior intention to make the international community believe it, scour the interior of the DPRK on the basis of legitimate mandate in a bid to disarm it just as the U.S. did in Iraq and justify its brigandish demand that Pyongyang scrap its nuclear program first at the upcoming six-way talks.
    It is a trite method of the Bush administration to fabricate false information and violate the sovereignty of independent states under that pretext. The U.S. can not exist without plot-breeding and conspiracy. It is clearly proved by the Iraqi war.
    It is by no means fortuitous that foreign news reports quoted the parties concerned as saying they have never transferred nuclear technology to the DPRK. According to the British Financial Times, the Pakistani president officially stated that Pakistan purchased missiles, not nuclear technology from the DPRK.
    The DPRK's self-reliant nuclear power industry and its nuclear deterrent force for self-defense were indigenously developed and perfected by scientists and technicians of the DPRK.
    The DPRK was compelled to change the purpose of its nuclear power industry based on graphite-moderated reactors and possess a nuclear deterrent force for self-defence with a firm determination because the U.S. nuclear threat increased as the days went by and the outbreak of a dangerous war of aggression became imminent.
    The U.S. smear campaign once again forced the army and the people of the DPRK to keenly realize what a just measure it took to build a nuclear deterrent force for self-defence by its own efforts.
