PYONGYANG, June 29 (Itar-Tass) - The North Korean leading party
newspaper Rodong Sinmun regards as another example of "treachery" a
decision by the Seoul administration, led by President Lee Myung-bak, to
dispatch South Korean troops to Afghanistan.
According to the newspaper's data, the forward group of South Korean
troops went to that country several days ago.
As a result, Rodong Sinmun states, people's money, collected in South
Korea for the fund of assistance in Afghanistan's economic reconstruction,
"will be used, in actual fact, to buttress the American occupation of that
country".
In the newspaper's opinion, South Korean conservative forces,
assisting in the US aggressive war in Afghanistan, hope "to win Washington'
s favours and to stay in power with its aid". Seoul is ready to sacrifice
the lives of young South Korean soldiers.
Rodong Sinmun warns that time will come when "the Lee Myung-bak's
clique will have to reply to Korean people for all its numerous crimes".
