U.N. condemns attack on S. Korean ship

The U.N. Security Council has adopted a president’s statement condemning a deadly torpedo attack on a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors, but the statement did not directly blame North Korea. 

“The Security Council condemns the attack which led to the sinking of the Cheonan,” said the presidential statement. 

Consequently, it calls for “appropriate and peaceful measures to be taken against those responsible for the incident.”
