S. Korea commander vows retaliation - World news - Asia-Pacific - North Korea - msnbc.com: "YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea — South Korea's marines commander Saturday vowed up to a 'thousand-fold' retaliation for the North Korea artillery attack that killed four people just days earlier.

The threat came as efforts to halt violence in the region continued even as South Korea and the U.S. prepared to launch joint military maneuvers Sunday.

At a funeral in Seongnam, near Seoul, dignitaries and relatives placed white chrysanthemums at an alter for the two marines killed in Tuesday's attack on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong. The attack was one of the worst bombardments of South Korea's territory since the 1950-53 Korean War."
