SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean naval ship was sinking on Friday after possibly being hit by a North Korean torpedo and several sailors were killed, South Korean media reported.

A South Korean warship later fired at an unidentified vessel toward the north, indicating a possible attack, and the South's presidential Blue House was holding an emergency security meeting, the Yonhap news agency said.

"The ship appears to have begun sinking after an explosion at the rear of the ship," Yonhap quoted the South Korean Navy saying in a statement. "We have been unable to find the exact cause of the incident as of this moment."

The incident comes as destitute North Korea is facing pressure to end its year-long boycott of international nuclear disarmament talks, where it can win aid to prop up its broken economy in exchange for reducing the security threat it poses.

Maybe it was Hi-Jacked. The world has become a place where this could easily have happened. *He says while watching a movie*.

only 2? I could have sworn there were more then that.. especially if you consider things like "war on drugs" and the like into the mix

Yea, this. And none of them are going well at all. Hell, I'd even say a majority are complete failures.

If the U.S. gets involved in this, I'm outta here. :p

I doubt the US would go to war with a country with nuclear weapons...
Maybe they would start drafting diplomats?

That's a good question. I've bet it turns out to be a false alarm.

I wouldn't blame anyone until I had evidence.

Imagine you're a South Korean. The North Koreans have oppressed you for a long time. What now? You have to think of it from their perspective. They are the ones who blamed them, did they not?

Still, you need proof of the incident. North Korea doesn't have much of a reason to sink one of South Korea's boats. Their economy is doing bad enough and if a war sparked, North Korea may fall.

A country that wished to do harm to Korea (north and south) could have done something like this to frame North Korea in hope of sparking a war.

We're not talking about proof here... We're talking about "what would be the first country you suspect if someone attacked you?". For South Korea, that'd be North Korea...

Imagine this, there are these three kids at your school. One is a goody-two-shoes and doesn't do anything wrong. The other is a baddy-bad-nut and steals stuff all the time. And the last is someone who completely ignores you all the time, but is otherwise what you would classify as "normal". One day, your new... whatever... calculator goes missing. Who do you suspect?

I would choose the goody-two-shoes because he would be the last one to suspect ;)
