Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- A North Korean torpedo attack was the most likely cause for the sinking of a South Korean warship last month, according to a US military official.

The US believes the ship was sunk by the blast of an underwater explosion, but that the explosive device itself did not come in contact with the hull of the South Korean ship, the official said.

This is the same conclusion expressed by South Korean military officials.

in fact i would not be surprised if it was a USN torpedo that sank this ship as a fake excuse to attack north korea.

They are not yet ready to attack Iran, so I don't think an attack by US on NK is likely. Also media is relatively quiet

In fact I would not be surprised at all if it was a PLAN torpedo because China is fed up with NKR, wanted an excuse to rid itself of this millstone, but is looking for a convenient way out by convincing the US/SKR alliance of a NKR involvement.

Just because uncle sam is fed up with NKR the world must be fed with NKR! Now, that is one perspective a bit too immature, but it sells well to rogue states like Israel.
