Pentagon remains cautious on S. Korean warship's sinking
By Hwang Doo-hyong
WASHINGTON, March 30 (Yonhap) -- The United States Tuesday remained cautious about the cause of the sinking of a South Korean warship in waters near North Korea last week.
"I don't think there's a way to determine that at this point, given that the boat in question, I think, is submerged," Geoff Morrell, Pentagon spokesman, told reporters. "I think they have some more work to do to determine that."
South Korean authorities are trying to rescue 46 missing sailors in the 1,200-ton ship, which sank after an unexplained explosion Friday near the maritime border with North Korea in the Yellow Sea, the scene of bloody naval skirmishes on three occasions in 1999, 2002 and 2009.
