World Watch: Undertow

* South Korea: Last week we wondered what caused the explosion that sunk a South Korean warship. According to some officials on Friday the answer may be a torpedo.

* Middle East: Earlier today a State Department spokesman called on the Israelis and Palestinians to engage in talks in order to quell Middle Eastern violence.

* China: State television revealed that there was “signs of life” among the 153 workers trapped in the Wangjialing mine.

* Russia: Authorities revealed that one of the female suicide bombers in Monday’s deadly blasts in the Moscow subway was the seventeen-year-old widow of a slain militant leader.
