South Korea raps 'reckless' N Korea at war anniversary

AFP, Seoul
South and North Korea yesterday marked the 60th anniversary of a war that killed millions and officially remains unfinished, accusing each other of fuelling the current high tensions on the peninsula.
At a solemn ceremony in Seoul to commemorate the Korean War's outbreak, President Lee Myung-Bak urged the North to stop its "reckless military provocations'' and apologise for the sinking of a South Korean warship.
The three-year conflict, which began with a North Korean invasion, left Korea in ruins and cost close to three million lives bymost estimates.
It ended only with an armistice and not a peace treaty, leaving North and South still technically at war six decades later.
The North denies involvement in the sinking which cost 46 lives, and accuses the South of mounting a US-backed smear campaign to fuel tensions. It says planned reprisals could trigger a new war.
Pyongyang insists the 1950-53 war was triggered by provocations from the South and its US ally, which still stations 28,500 troops south of the border.
The North's ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said Friday that peace is still threatened "due to the US and the South Korean puppet forces' vicious moves to provoke a new war".
Lee said the South's ultimate goal is not military confrontation but peaceful reunification. But he reiterated calls for the North to apologise for the sinking of the ship near the tense disputed sea border.
The South, citing the findings of a multinational investigation that the North fired a torpedo, has announced its own non-military reprisals.
Along with the United States, it is also pressing for United Nations Security Council condemnation of the North, which threatens a military response to any UN action.
"North Korea should take a responsible attitude in front of the international community, " Lee said in a speech.
"North Korea should stop reckless military provocations and take the path for the 70 million Koreans to live together."
Hundreds of decorated veterans from the South, and from other countries that fought for it in the war, joined families, diplomats and VIPs for the commemoration.
