SKorean regime ``will not avoid harsh sentence of history``NKorea.

PYONGYANG, May 25 (Itar-Tass) - The South Korean puppet authorities,
linking with the DPRK the sinking of their ship in the Yellow Sea last
March, "will not avoid the harsh sentence of history". This statement was
made on Tuesday by the leading North Korean party newspaper Rodong Sinmun.
In the newspaper's opinion, the results of the so-called investigation
into the circumstances of the shipwreck of this vessel, published in
Seoul, are, in actual fact, a plot against the people's republic, which
was "thoroughly planned by South Korean conservative forces along with
their masters - the United States and Japan".
The newspaper emphasises that Seoul now "tries to divert attention of
the public from evident pitfalls of its foreign and domestic policies and
to consolidate, thereby, its positions on the eve of elections to local
bodies of self-government".
For this purpose, the present Seoul administration, "which has already
committed a lot of crimes against its people", the article continues, took
the course for aggravating inter-Korean relations, putting responsibility
for the sinking of the Cheonan ship on North Korea.
"The group, led by Lee Myung-bak (South Korean president), stresses
another newspaper, Minchu Chosun, will have to stand to answer for the
escalation of tension in the Korean Peninsula".
On Monday, the North Korean State Defence Committee, responsible for
the country's security, demanded again that Seoul should receive a group
of inspectors to verify evidence, allegedly showing complicity of the
people's republic in the Cheonan's shipwreck.
