Evidence of torpedo attack secured

Investigators looking into the sinking of a South Korean warship in March have secured "decisive evidence" to prove that the frigate was sunk by a torpedo strike, a senior military official said Tuesday.
Traces of explosive collected from the wreckage are similar to those of a North Korean torpedo found in the West Sea seven years ago, the official said on condition of anonymity.
The investigation team discovered pieces of the propeller from the torpedo, he said.
The Ministry of National Defense neither confirmed nor denied the allegations.
The team, including experts from the U.S., Britain, Australia and Sweden, plans to announce the results of its investigation into the naval disaster Thursday.
Sources said the government has already drawn up a draft report on the cause of the Cheonan sinking and circulated it to security-related Cabinet ministers.
The report virtually points to North Korea as the culprit, the sources said.
Countermeasures include a large-scale joint submarine exercise of the South Korean and U.S. Navies, they said.
"A large-scale ROK-U.S. naval exercise would be one of the most practical countermeasures," a military source told The Korea Times. "It would not only help bolster the ROK-U.S. combined maritime defense readiness but also send a warning signal to North Korea." A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine may join the exercise, he added.
The government has been seeking to win support from the international community before referring the Cheonan issue to the U.N. Security Council (UNSC).
The government will brief ambassadors from about 30 countries, including those involved in the six-party talks, permanent UNSC members and EU member states, today on the results of the investigation and follow-up measures Wednesday, according to an official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
