WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Monday that the sinking of a South Korean warship blamed on North Korea was not terrorism and not enough by itself to put Pyongyang back on a U.S. terrorism blacklist.
The State Department said the March sinking of the South Korean frigate Cheonan reportedly by a torpedo from a North Korean submarine was a “provocative action” and a violation of the truce that ended the Korean war.
But it added that the sinking was the act of one state’s military against another and not an act of terrorism.
