Rodong Sinmun on U.S. Persistent Anti-DPRK Moves

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, May 12 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is working hard to defame the authority and image of the DPRK by attaching the label of "terrorist sponsor" to it, while persistently pursuing a hostile policy toward it. This is as foolish an act as lifting an axe only to drop it on one's own feet. Rodong Sinmun says this in a commentary Wednesday.
    The news analyst continues:
    The U.S. Department of State recently released an "2003 annual report on terrorism", in which it listed again some countries including the DPRK as "sponsors of terrorism" and even brought forward the "issue of abducted Japanese" to obtain a lever to put pressure upon the DPRK.
    The "issue of kidnapped Japanese" over which the U.S. is making quite a noise is the one between the DPRK and Japan which was already solved through the publication of the Pyongyang declaration between the two countries and, therefore, it is none of its business. Nevertheless, the U.S. is trying to internationalize it and egging Japan, a junior ally, on to continue to kick up dust over the "abduction issue" to gain greater effect. This proves that as long as the U.S. pursues the hostile policy toward the DPRK, it would cook up other case than the "abduction issue" to attach the label of terrorism to the DPRK and justify its moves to internationally isolate the latter.
    It reminds us of a thief crying "Stop the thief!" that the U.S., the world's biggest terrorist sponsor and the kingpin of terrorism, groundlessly brands the innocent DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism." It aims to intensify the moves to stifle the DPRK in keeping the latter on the list of "sponsors of terrorism."
    If the U.S. remains obstinate in branding the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism", it will only throw a more glaring light on its robber-like nature, impudence and baseness as the hotbed and root cause of terrorism.
    The U.S. would be well advised to mind its own business.
