Seoul to blame North Korea for warship attack | |
2010-05-19 | |
(Reuters) - South Korea will formally blame North Korea for sinking one of its navy ships in March, killing 46 sailors, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
The navy ship Cheonan sank on March 26 after an explosion on the vessel as it sailed in the Yellow Sea off South Korea's west coast. The Post said the officials said analyses showed the torpedo was identical to a North Korean torpedo previously obtained by South Korea. The formal accusation is expected to be announced on Thursday and South Korea will ask the U.N. Security Council to take up the matter, Post sources said. The White House said President Barack Obama and South Korean President Lee Myong-bak spoke about the Cheonan incident by telephone Monday night but did not disclose details of the investigation. Lee thanked Obama for U.S. help in the investigation and Obama repeated the U.S. commitment to South Korea's security, a White House statement said. South Korean officials had made little secret of their belief that Pyongyang, which has raised concerns around the world with its nuclear tests, was behind the attack. | |

#1 Or MAYBE some generals in the North WANT to provoke a war with the South... Knowing it would be a walkover Knowing they would lose Because then they would be occupied and their families would be able to eat at last. Their country could get rid of the dynastic despot crazypants. Easier to let the south do it than to risk doing it from within. |
