Shuddering Germ Warfare of U.S. Imperialists during Korean War

 Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- During the Korean War (June 1950 - July 1953), the U.S. imperialists committed shuddering massacres, unhesitatingly using even germ weapons against the DPRK people in wanton violation of international law.
The U.S. imperialist aggressors found a way out in the germ warfare as they suffered repeated defeats from the beginning of the war by the powerful counterattack of the Korean People's Army.
The U.S. imperialists massively spread smallpox virus to Pyongyang, Jangjin, Kowon and Yangdok areas, fleeing owing to the KPA's re-advance. At that time, thousands of people suffered from smallpox in the areas, and 10 percent of them were dead.
The U.S. imperialists killed many innocent people by spreading the lice contaminated with typhus and recurrent fever pathogens in houses along the highway, and selected bacteria with high infectivity and mortality, strong resistance and different latent periods. As a result, epidemics including pest, cholera and typhoid fever spread rapidly and many people were dead or disabled, suffering from the diseases.
The U.S. imperialists dropped various kinds of germ bombs for over 800 times in more than 160 areas of the DPRK between January and March, 1952.
The number of planes involved in the criminal germ warfare amounted to one quarter of the planes involved in bombing the DPRK and to 480 on one day.
History has so far not known a precedent of the germ warfare which is large in scale and vicious in means and methods. Thus, the world public and media revealed that the brutal germ warfare waged by the U.S. imperialist aggressors in the Korean War is the largest-ever germ warfare in the war history.
At that time, a member of an investigation team of the Women's International Democratic Federation, too, denounced the crimes of the U.S. imperialist murderers, saying that there were no such heinous human butchers as the US scoundrels in the world. -0-
