Pyongyang, February 10 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities, not
content with confrontation with fellow countrymen in the north, went the
lengths of shielding the germ warfare committed by the U.S. in the
Korean war.
On February 5 they let the Channel A Broadcasting Service air that
the DPRK spread a "false fiction" on the U.S. use of germ weapons and
chemical weapons during the June 25 Korean war in a bid to "foster
hatred for the U.S. through brainwashing education".
The monstrous crimes in which the U.S. killed many Koreans by using
germ and chemical weapons on a large-scale are a wanton violation of
international law and a deliberate crime aimed to exterminate the Korean
nation.
Korea became a theatre of the U.S. imperialists' germ warfare and
its first test ground in the Korean war due to their scenario to
retrieve itself from its repeated military setbacks on the whole front
of the war and further round off germ weapons in an actual war.
The U.S. forces spread by cunning methods lots of infectious
disease-germ including smallpox in Pyongyang City, South and North
Phyongan, Kangwon, South Hamgyong, South and North Hwanghae provinces
and other areas in early December, 1950.
Infectious diseases by germs occurred in different areas in
mid-December, 1950 explosively. The number of cases rapidly increased,
reaching over 3 500 cases in April, 1951.
During the period the U.S. forces committed such bestial atrocities
as spreading epidemic pathogens of hemorrhagic fever as well as
smallpox.
At least 3 000 tests for germ weapons were made every day against
POWs of the Korean People's Army at Boat 1091 led by the chief for
hygiene and welfare of the "UN Command" anchoring in the waters off
Wonsan on the East Sea of Korea and the waters off Koje Island in
secrecy in March, 1951.
The U.S. committed the germ warfare on all areas of the northern
half of Korea, entering 1952. Germ bombs were dropped over 169 areas of
the northern half of Korea through a total of 804 raids, regardless of
tablelands and coastal and mountainous areas, from early January to
March, 1952.
The germ bombs which were dropped included lots of flies, fleas,
spiders and other harmful insects with the most horrible malignant,
acute and infectious disease-germs of more than 20 kinds. In May, 1952
the U.S. let hundreds of planes fly every day, one fourth of them
dropped germ bombs and their number was nearly 480 one day.
The number of planes involved in the germ warfare of the U.S. forces
and areas over which they dropped germ bombs clearly indicate that this
was the first largest germ warfare in the world war history.
This was a wanton violation of the international convention on banning the use of toxic gas and germ weapons.
A POW who took part in the germ warfare of the U.S. testified to his
crime on April 13, 1952 that he was forced to serve war merchants and
drop germ bombs, committing grave crimes against the Korean people and
the Chinese People's Volunteers, adding:
I had to obey orders as a soldier without fail and this order was issued by the imperialists in Wall Street.
A long period has passed since the ceasefire but evidence proving
the U.S. germ and chemical warfare is found in different parts of the
DPRK.
At least 40 explosives of various types including germ bomb with
large infectious power were founded in a matter of a half year since the
start of the project to reclaim Sepho tableland where a large-scale
stockbreeding base is under construction.
The U.S. germ and chemical warfare can neither be distorted nor justified.
The group of traitors and colonial rabid dogs should be brought to a
tribunal of history at an early date as they dare challenge the
toughest offensive of the DPRK against the U.S. while shielding its germ
warfare. -0
