KURSK DISASTER LINKED TO TORPEDO EXPLOSIONS. The government
commission investigating the August 2000 Kursk submarine
disaster has found that torpedo explosions were responsible
for the sinking, dpa reported citing gazeta.ru. The experts
did not rule out a collision with a foreign submarine, but
said that the collision theory is "less likely" than problems
with the onboard torpedoes. PG
