'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Text Fwd: Final report on Cheonan sinking due this month

Final report on Cheonan sinking due this month

A civil-military investigation group that looked into the sinking of the Cheonan corvette in March will publish a final report both in Korean and English later this month, ending its four-month long probe into the disaster, the Ministry of National Defense said Wednesday.

The group, which included experts from the United States, Britain, Australia and Sweden, released an interim report in May, pointing to North Korea as the culprit behind the ship sinking that claimed the lives of 46 sailors.

The investigation team concluded that a North Korean midget submarine had torpedoed the 1,200-ton Cheonan after sneaking into international waters into the West Sea.

The conclusion, however, is still debated domestically and internationally.

China and Russia, veto-wielding permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, have not expressed their support for the group's findings, hindering efforts by Seoul and Washington to impose tougher sanctions against Pyongyang.

The group earlier cited "decisive evidence," including parts of a North Korean torpedo collected near the site of the incident and the Korean lettering on the propeller of the torpedo.

The final report will contain all records regarding the raising of the wreckage, collecting of evidence, briefing material used at the U.N. headquarters in New York and others, the ministry said.

The report will be released to government ministries and agencies concerned and nations that joined the Cheonan investigation, it said. The publication, however, will not be made public, he added.
