NK asks South to accept inspectors again

North Korea Saturday reiterated that the South receive Pyongyang's investigators and show them incriminating evidence that a North's submarine torpedoed the 88-meter-long Cheonan frigate on March 26, that killed 46 sailors.

The demand, outlined by Kim Yong-chun, minister of the people's armed forces, said: "The South Korean government of Lee Myung-bak should unconditionally receive the inspection group and clarify the truth in the eyes of the world," Yonhap News Agency said.

Kim also demanded Seoul "produce material evidence without a shred of doubt," it said.

Kim is a senior member of the 13-member National Defense Commission, the highest seat of power headed by leader Kim Jong-il. His position is equivalent to Defense Minister in South Korea.
