US 'bringing Korean peninsula to brink of war'

The latest broadside from the regime of Kim Jong-il was issued as a US carrier battle group led by the nuclear-powered USS George Washington steamed towards the Yellow Sea in a show of deterrent force to Pyongyang.

"The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war," warned a dispatch from the Korean Central News Agency said. "Gone are the days when verbal warnings are served only." All morning North Korean state television and radio blared out martial music interspersed with official statements about the shelling of South Korean's Yeonpyeong Island on Tuesday which left four people dead and destroyed houses and parts of a military base.

In a further show of US solidarity with Seoul, Gen. Walter Sharp, the US military commander in South Korea, visited the shelled island, touring burned buildings and stating again that the attack was a violation of the ceasefire that ended the 1950-53 Korean War.

The US confirmed that Sunday's joint exercise would go ahead regardless of warnings from Beijing that the war games risk further destabilising an already volatile Korean peninsular.

"The exercises will be held on Sunday as planned and the George Washington is on its way here to arrive on Sunday," confirmed a spokesman for US Forces Korea.
