A multinational team of investigators has formally accused North Korea of a role in the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship. For the first time since the South Korean navy ship, the Cheonan was sunk in March, South Korea is formally blaming North Korea for the indident. South Korea blames North attack Yoon Duk-yong is the South Korean co-director of an international investigative team. In a nationally televised briefing, he said investigators have concluded the ship was sunk by a torpedo found to be made in North Korea. He says the evidence points overwhelmingly to the conclusion that the torpedo was fired by a North Korean submarine. He says there is no other plausible explanation. Investigators say parts from the torpedo were recovered with Korean language markings are consistent with weapons manufactured in the North. Forty-six South Korean sailors were killed in the sinking of the Cheonan. A South Korean military reprisal is seen as almost impossible, because of the chance that action could escalate into a devastating war. South Korea says it will call for coordinated international action via the United Nations Security Council.
