North Korea has renewed its request to examine the wreckage of the sunken South Korean warship Cheonan. | Afraid you missed something, boys? |
| Actually, it's been raised - but they don't need to be told that... |
| Good point. Take them out to sea and ask them, "is this the spot? Over you go!" |
The U.S.-led military command said afterward it demanded that the North admit responsibility for the sinking. North Korea denies responsibility, despite an investigation that found remains of a North Korean torpedo. Its official news agency said its delegates asked to send a team of experts to examine the wreckage, repeating a demand made at the earlier meeting. A third round of talks was tentatively scheduled for July 29.
North Korea's news agency said its delegates also demanded that the United States and South Korea cancel a naval exercise scheduled to begin Sunday in the East Sea. North Korean officials made the same demand at a regional security forum in Vietnam, where a spokesman warned of a "physical response" if the exercise goes ahead.
The UN Command, which enforces the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War, has conducted its own investigation of the Cheonan incident.
