Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- An explosion at close range, and not a direct hit, caused the 1,200-ton patrol ship Cheonan to sink last month, a team of South Korean military and civilian investigators has tentatively concluded.

    North Korea is as innocent as it ever was of this sinking.

    I wonder if North Korea has mines of some sort. That would be enough to cause the damage to the ship. Magnetic mine maybe?

    North Korea is so poor, how do they afford torpedoes?

    They are too poor because Dear Leader insists on fanning the xenophobic flames that cause the country to spend on military needs and lets the people starve.

    Some papers are reporting the damage looks like a torpedo. 8O

    Good thing they never signed a peace treaty. Saves time declaring war.

    Also eliminates the need for extensive paper work, therefore ensuring the survival of trees everywhere.

    They also sell missle and rocket technology to other similar countries like Syria, Iran and others.

    They're not even that rich. They're not "Zimbabwe" with an abundance of natural resources they can fall back on during hard times.

    However, government sources say Ahmadinejad’s visit is all about uranium which Zimbabwe has vast untapped deposits. Iran needs the uranium to boost its nuclear programme.

    N.Korea simply has nothing but people, like Somalia or Yemen.

    Mines are cheap and it sounds exactly like a magnetic mine, or a hydrostatic mine.

    Great way to fight - a few thousand dollar mine destroying a ship worth tens of millions. Ask the US Navy - they learned the hard way in the first Gulf War and now they have two classes of MCM vessels.

    Mines are to maritime poor countries with very limited resources as IEDs are to the Taliban.
