Lee: N. Korea must pay for torpedo attack on warship

South Korea's president said Monday his nation will no longer tolerate North Korea's "brutality" and said the regime would pay for a surprise torpedo attack that killed 46 South Korean sailors.

President Lee Myung-bak vowed to take Pyongyang to the UN Security Council for punishment over the March 26 sinking of the warship. He also said Seoul would also cut all trade with the impoverished regime - part of measures primarily aimed at striking back at the isolated wartime foe diplomatically and financially. (AP)
