News on the Water

South Korea today intercepted a North Korean ship a few kilometers south of the two Korea's sea border. The boat was carrying 20 men and 11 women, all of who were workers (no children). This comes just before talks between the two governments begin on Tuesday. The captured have shown no desire to defect. The vessel was captured near Yeonpyeong island, which this past November was shelled by North Korea. North Korea said the shelling was a response to Military exercises conducted by South Korea. Some have speculated that the shelling came out of the change of power rumored to be going on as Kim Jung-il passes on his dictatorship to his son. The Demilitarized Zone between the two nations stands as the most militarized zone in the world with hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides as well as countless land mines. Tunnels dug by North Korea have been discovered by the UN leading into the heart of Seoul. Tensions have been high ever since the end of the Korean war. Both nations are prepared for full out war. A show down seems inevitable, but who will tip the scale? Perhaps Kim-Jung-il's son will be more open to peace talks...
