S. Korean Group Accused of Scuttling Dialogue and Humanitarian Work
Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- After kicking off the war maneuvers for a war of aggression against the DPRK codenamed "Hoguk" the south Korean puppet group perpetrated on Nov. 23 such reckless military provocation as firing dozens of shells inside its territorial waters around Yonphyong Islet in the West Sea of Korea. The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK took such decisive military step as reacting to the reckless military provocation of the puppet group with a prompt and powerful physical strike.

Nevertheless, the puppet group dared make an uproar over "a provocation" from someone and cry out for "punishment" like a thief crying "Stop the thief!" To crown all, it announced that it would indefinitely put off the inter-Korean Red Cross talks slated to take place on Nov. 25.

The C.C., the Red Cross Society of the DPRK in a communique released in this connection on Nov. 24 vehemently denounces the Lee Myung Bak group for derailing the process for improving the inter-Korean relations, scuttling the inter-Korean Red Cross talks and driving the situation to the brink of war by pursuing its policy of confrontation with the DPRK.

The grave military provocation perpetrated by the puppet group this time and its action to indefinitely delay the above-said talks glaringly show what it sought in remaining dead-set against the improvement of the inter-Korean relations and hamstringing any effort for it, the communique notes, and goes on:

Given that the south Korean Red Cross declared the indefinite postponement of the talks after being reduced to a waiting maid of the puppet warmongers, we have no idea of remaining committed to settling humanitarian issues any longer.

The Red Cross of south Korea should be held responsible for having scuttled such humanitarian undertakings as the normalization of the reunion of separated families and relatives before the whole nation.

The Lee Myung Bak group's treacherous and anti-reunification acts are intolerable as it vitiated the atmosphere for improving the inter-Korean relations overnight and drove the situation to the brink of war, challenging the desire of all the Koreans.

The Lee group of traitors will never be able to escape severer punishment by the nation as it derailed the noble humanitarian work and is bringing a horrible disaster to the fellow countrymen through its moves to escalate the confrontation with compatriots and war maneuvers.
