U.S. Reckless Moves for Space War under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, June 7 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are disclosing their wild ambition to misuse modern science and technology for turning outer space into a theatre for carrying out their strategy for world supremacy, observes Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article. It says:
    The warlike Bush administration is putting spurs to the militarization of outer space by spending a stupendous amount of funds despite unanimous rebuff and opposition of the public at home and abroad.
    The U.S. is now hell bent on the moves to militarize space in quest of its world supremacy.
    The U.S. Department of Defense is pushing forward at a final stage the development of air-based laser weapons capable of destroying inter-continental ballistic missiles at the phase of their acceleration under the plan to expand the Missile Defense System not only on the ground but in outer space in the days ahead.
    For the present, the U.S. is contemplating carrying on the development of land mobile complex system for an electronic jamming in satellite communication systems and the development projects for fast feeding of information about attack into space mechanisms and conducting an experiment on the use of land-based high power laser weapon capable of destroying low-orbit satellites next year.
    The U.S. is set to develop space weapons capable of promptly hitting any targets on the land.
    All the facts clearly indicate that the U.S. works hard to shift to comprehensively deploying the space weapon system sooner or later so as to turn outer space, an object for a peaceful use common to humankind, into a dangerous military base and a battle field.
    If the U.S. imperialists are allowed to militarize space, it will entail such irretrievable consequences as bringing unspeakable disasters to humankind.
    The U.S. imperialists are the common enemy of humankind as they are threatening humankind's existence and civilization and blocking world progress and development.
    The world progressive people are called upon to heighten their vigilance against those moves of the U.S. imperialists and wage a more dynamic struggle to check them.
