S. Korean president vows action over sinking of warship - CNN.com

S. Korean president vows action over sinking of warship - CNN.com: "(CNN) -- An emotional President Lee Myung-bak vowed Monday to find out why a South Korean naval ship sank and to 'deal resolutely' with whatever or whomever caused the sinking, the country's Yonhap news agency reported.

In a live broadcast, Lee read aloud the names of the 46 South Korean sailors lost in the March 26 sinking of the corvette Cheonan, which went down in the Yellow Sea near the North Korean border after an explosion hit the ship.

'As president, I will ascertain the cause of the Cheonan's sinking to the last detail,' Lee said, according to Yonhap. 'I will deal resolutely with the results and make sure such an incident does not recur.'

A South Korean investigator said Friday that an 'external explosion' was the most likely cause of the mysterious sinking."
