World | South Korea | North Korea South Korea's defense minister said this month the 1,200-tonne Cheonan may have been hit by a torpedo, immediately putting suspicion on North Korea and stoking concerns that the incident could start a conflict on the long divided peninsula. Several bodies of the 46 sailors who went missing were seen in the ship's stern, which is thought to have gone down with dozens trapped inside, a defense official told local media. A Defense Ministry spokeswoman declined to comment. Government officials said Seoul was looking at all possibilities for the sinking and expected the raised stern to provide clues on what caused the explosion. The salvage operation comes as tensions on the troubled peninsula have increased with the North freezing assets of a South Korean firm at a joint tourism project north of the border once hailed as a symbol of cooperation. The stern was raised above the water line in the morning and drained before being placed on a barge. Seoul has few appealing options if the North was behind the sinking, but would not likely take an aggressive stance because it could escalate into major conflict that would harm the South's interests, analysts said. "I do not think South Korean government will go to war over this ... it will probably try to handle it more diplomatically," said Kim June-kie, a market analyst at SK Securities in Seoul. Shares on Wall Street fell when reports came out shortly after the Cheonan's sinking on March 26 that said the South was looking into a possible North Korean torpedo attack. The price to insure Korean sovereign debt also rose at that time to 83 basis points from 78 basis points, according to two trading sources. That meant the cost to insure $10 million in South Korean debt increased by $5,000 to $83,000. The ship sinking could also complicate the resumption of stalled international talks on ending North Korea's atomic arms program in return for aid to prop up its broken economy, experts said. North Korean leader Kim Jong-il was expected to visit his neighbor and biggest benefactor China in the coming weeks for a trip supposed to help prod Pyongyang back to the dormant talks among the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States. Kim faced a rare crisis to his iron grip on power late last year when a botched currency reform sparked almost unheard of civil unrest, angering an impoverished public by raising prices and making it even more difficult to obtain already scarce food.
