North Korea abruptly called off a talks set for Tuesday with the U.S.-led United Nations Command that oversees the Korean War truce, failing to show up for the first meeting to discuss the sinking of a South Korean warship.
North Korea's military representatives asked for a delay 'for administrative reasons,' the U.N. Command said in a statement. An official there said the North may have decided it was not ready for the talks. No new date has been set.
A joint team of investigators involving military officers and civilian experts from the South, the United States and Sweden in May blamed the North for launching a torpedo attack on the South Korean corvette Cheonan in March, killing 46 sailors.
You knew this was coming, right?
