Navy rules out internal explosion as cause of ship sinking
By Lee Chi-dong
SEOUL, March 30 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Navy has tentatively concluded that the sinking of a warship last week was not due to an internal explosion, according to a top presidential official Tuesday.
In his report to President Lee Myung-bak, Navy chief Kim Sung-chan said it is almost certain that the 1,200-ton vessel Cheonan was torn in two due to "powerful outside pressure or an explosion," according to Lee Dong-kwan, senior secretary for public affairs at the presidential office.
