North Korea has lashed out at the United States for imposing "double standards" on Pyongyang's recent rocket launch, calling the US move a product of its "hostile policy" toward the North. "The US malignantly slandered the (North's) satellite launch as 'a long-range missile launch' and spearheaded a campaign for 'protesting' against it for no reason," the North's Foreign Ministry said in an English-language statement carried late Monday by the country's official Korean Central News Agency. The ministry claimed the US backed "other country's" long-range missile launch, saying, "The US application of the double standards is, in the final analysis, a product of its hostile policy towards" the North. The latest statement came a week after the UN Security Council condemned the launch and called on member states to find ways to tighten sanctions on the communist country. North Korea launched a long-range rocket on April 13 to put what it claims was a satellite into orbit, but it exploded soon after lift-off, with the pieces falling into the sea off South Korea's west coast.
