NK abducts SK fishing boat

[15357]

North Korea seized a South Korean fishing boat Thursday morning after it accidentally crossed the countries' sea border, The Associated Press reported, quoting Yonhap News Agency.

Yonhap quoted a Defense Ministry official as saying that the incident took place at about 6:30 a.m. in the East Sea, adding that four people were on board the South Korean boat.

He said the boat's satellite navigation system appeared to have malfunctioned and that a North Korean patrol boat took the ship into custody.

AP said South Korea was working to secure the release of the boat.

Ok, before anyone tells me off about the title, I believe that tying an entire unarmed boat up because it crossed an invisible line in the ocean accidently constitutes an abduction and warrents a full-on military offensive.

Must have caught some good fish.

It was apparently a squid-catcher.

You heartless bastards.

Release the little fish boat so that you can catch it again when it's bigger.

 

[YROC]

I guess whatever floats their boat.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Why didn't they simply explain they were on a boat?

 

[G(ordon)-man]

NK needs fishing boats, they have little.

Meh, the whole trying to assassinate each other's leaders was more interesting, I wonder how SK directors will go about trying to make a decent movie out of this?.

That's what you get for using new-fangled devil technology instead of navigating by the stars the way Jesus wants us to.

Oh god I laughed at this.

Yeah. We really should do that. The 80s were WAY more interesting than today.

should have built a trojan boat, then when they took it back to NK it blows up. best idea ever.

Off-topic but I totally gotta visit SK sometime, numbers, you and me should hit the bars, after infiltrating NK and double-dragon style WTF pwning the NK government and military in an epic struggle in down town Pyongyang like in those low budget Japanese movies where the protagonist takes on an army of ninjas.

I need to further the cause of Red Alert 2 while I'm there, this Starcraft thing has gone too far, it needs a worthy counter-weight.
