KCNA Refutes Sankei Shimbun's False Report
Typical reptile paper of the Japanese ultra-right conservative forces Sankei Shimbun again spread misinformation to tarnish the international image of the DPRK. | You don't need misinformation to do that, the truth does just fine. |
Recently it reported that a six-member Iranian technical delegation comprising physicists and computer experts entered north Korea in May and they are expected to conduct a joint test of detonating devices for nuclear bombs involving the examination of neutron by using nuclear facilities in north Korea for six months starting from July. | Hummmm, I must have missed this one. Makes perfect sense. |
According to information available from a relevant institution, there had been no deal in the field of nuclear technology between the DPRK and Iran and no delegation on such mission came here, either. | Without Khan's network to act as a middleman....., but of course, there was no deal there either. Lies, all lies! |
However, Sankei Shimbun told such a whopping lie. It was nothing but a cynical ploy to galvanize the world public opinion and put pressure upon the DPRK, taking advantage of the U.S. moves to charge the DPRK with the nuclear proliferation. Recently the U.S. has increased its pressure upon Iran to open to public the "nuclear activities including its secret nuclear weapons program" while putting in motion some Western countries and the IAEA. It is now foolishly attempting to deliberately link the DPRK to it. | Methinks they doth protest too much. |
In February the U.S. met strong public criticism for having faked up the story about the "transfer of technology for the development of nuclear weapons" to the DPRK by a Pakistani nuclear scientist. | That's right, Khan faked his confession. It was all a plot to besmirch the good name of the DPRK. |
Far from drawing a proper lesson from this precedent, the U.S. cooked up and floated the fiction about Iranian-north Korean "joint test of detonating devices for nuclear bombs" only to reveal its true colors as a centre for hatching despicable plots. | It's a pretty good "fiction", Iran has the money to fund the program, but doesn't want to draw attention by testing a bomb on their own soil. Pretty much everyone has been waiting for the Norks to test, they have been threating to do so thenselves. |
The U.S. backtracked from the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework after fabricating the story about the DPRK's "enriched uranium program." It is now throwing a hurdle in the way of settling the nuclear issue, persistently insisting on this issue at the six-party talks, too. | They're upset we're not gonna give in. |
Sankei Shimbun can never escape public condemnation for having released such a false report to join the U.S. in its smear campaign and operation to isolate and stifle the DPRK. This newspaper has not yet dropped its bad habit of seeking its own interests by sowing seeds of dissension among other countries and nations. This time, too, it openly spread sheer misinformation in a bid to fool the world public opinion and fish in troubled waters. The Japanese society and media need to deplore its wrong doing before anybody else and to be cautious about this practice of telling sheer lies to speak for the U.S. though it professes to be an influential paper in Japan. | Touchy, ain't they? Story must be true then. |
