N. Korea slams Seoul for labeling attack on Lippert by forces following the North

As for the ambassador's assailant Kim Ki-jong,...
North Korea slammed South Korea for labeling him and his actions as "pro-North Korean."
North Korea's official daily the Rodong Sinmun says... Seoul is trying to justify Washington's attempts to put Pyongyang back on its list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Since Thursday's attack, the North Korean media has been hailing the slashing as a "deserved punishment" for U.S. hostilities.
Meanwhile, South Korean authorities are investigating whether Kim may have violated the National Security Law, which bans South Koreans from publicly supporting the North Korean government.
He reportedly said... during his interrogation... that late North Korean leader Kim Il-sung was a great leader from the 20th century.
