North Korea Blames US for Recent Internet Access Cutoff

North Korea blamed the US for an Internet outage it experienced, calling President Barack Obama “reckless in words and deeds” and charging him with forcing the release of the Sony Pictures Entertainment film “The Interview”.

North Korea also reiterated its denial of responsibility for the hacking of Sony computer files and the threats to attack theaters that screen the comedy about a fictional assassination of the country’s leader Kim Jong Un. “US President Obama is the chief culprit,” the National Defence Commission said. When Sony Pictures said it would withdraw the film, “Obama urged it to unconditionally screen the movie.”
