Who Is Chieftain Posing "Threats": KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- These days the Abe group of Japan vociferates about "threats" to Japan from the DPRK. Prime Minister Abe and Defense Minister Onodera at the House of Representatives said that hundreds of Rodong missiles with the whole land of Japan in the striking range have been deployed in the DPRK, stressing the need to introduce long-range missiles capable of removing "threats from north Korea" outside Japan under the principle of "exclusive defense". The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan insisted that it would distribute the "guidelines to cope with crisis", containing the way of evacuation from ballistic missile launch of the DPRK and ways for connection with local self-government bodies, to schools across Japan to be used from March. Meanwhile, the Abe group let Miura, a scholar on international politics, and other conservative experts spread rumor that hidden "assassination unit" of the DPRK may be in Tokyo or Osaka and that big cities of Japan would be targets of such terrorism in case of a war between the DPRK and the U.S., while intensifying the suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan. They are making desperate efforts to create terror-ridden atmosphere in the society of Japan under the pretence of "threats" from the DPRK. But it is a thinly-veiled trick. The sordid intention of the Abe group, anti-DPRK confrontation fanatics, is to realize vile political purpose and ambition for reinvasion by actively spreading the rumor of "threats" from the DPRK. The Japanese reactionaries sharpening the sword for reinvasion, far from making an apology for the thrice-cursed crimes against the Korean nation, are the sworn enemy of the Koreans and a root cause of misfortunes in the society of Japan and the foe to peace in Asia and the rest of the world. Japan should stop such foolish act of inviting disasters to it, clearly understanding the strategic position of the DPRK and the trend of the times. -0-
