U.S. Arms Cutdown Moves Denounced

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 17 (KCNA) -- The U.S. recently announced that it would cut down its forces present in south Korea in three phases by 2008. This means that it has extended the period of its forces' cutdown for three years by changing the original plan to reduce one third of its forces in south Korea by the end of next year. Minju Joson Sunday carries a signed commentary in this regard which observes:
    The announcement clearly proves that the U.S. farce to cut down its forces in south Korea was nothing but a trick to cover up its arms buildup for invasion of the DPRK. The U.S. has never had any willingness to cut down its forces in south Korea. This is proved by the contents of the "reduction plan" announced by the U.S.
    The armed forces cutdown is part of arms buildup moves to provoke the second Korean war like all the arms reduction farces staged by the U.S. so far.
    The commentary urged the south Korean authorities to stop their treacherous act of following the U.S. arms buildup moves and war policy to launch a war on the Korean peninsula.
