Pyongyang, September 10 (KCNA)-- Robert Bell, Senior Director for
Defense Policy and Arms Control at the White House National Security
Council, on September 5 said "Korea is the one place in the world
where the cold war has not ended" and "There has to be in the treaty
to ban anti-personnel land mines an exception for Korea". Bell
reportedly reiterated the U.S. position favouring an exception for
Korea in using antitank mines. He said the United States will stand
firmly by its policy to seek the Korean Peninsula as a geographic
exception in the ongoing talks in Oslo. Calling for removal of mines
for public opinion, the United States is seeking a "geographic
exception" for south Korea where a large number of mines have been
planted. The U.S. imperialists are raising the rumour about "threat
from north Korea" to defend their vicious intention. Bell's remarks
are an undisguised challenge to the just demand of opinion, and betray
the dirty intention of the U.S. imperialist warmaniacs to keep hold on
south Korea as a permanent colony and military base and unleash
another war of aggression in the Korean Peninsula.
