North Korea Threatens Immediate Retaliation

Amid South Korea’s plan to submit the Cheonan issue to the UN Security Council, North Korea threatened immediate retaliation if South Korea introduces the results from the one-sided investigation to the Security Council.

From AFP:

A North Korean diplomat said Thursday that tensions on the Korean peninsula were running so high over the sinking of a South Korean warship that "war may break out at any moment."

In a speech to the international Conference on Disarmament, Ri Jang-Gon, deputy permanent representative for North Korea at the United Nations in Geneva, blamed the "grave situation" on South Korea and the United States.

"The present situation of the Korean peninsula is so grave that a war may break out at any moment," he said.
