North Korea has officially denied to the United Nations sinking a South Korean warship in March, a Seoul official said Monday.

An international team of investigators concluded in May a North Korean submarine fired an aluminum torpedo to sink the corvette Cheonan near the maritime border, killing 46 South Korean sailors.

"North Korea wrote a letter in English revealing the results of the National Defense Commission's investigation and circulated it among U.N. member states on Friday," the official told Yonhap. The commission is the North's highest seat of power.

The North Korean Central News Agency also reported Monday its investigation results were distributed to the Security Council.

Pyongyang offered recently to hand over samples of its torpedoes, which it said were made of steel alloy, not aluminum. The North has been demanding the South let investigators from the North study the site, which the South has refused.

North Korea sent UN a denial of the Cheonan Sinking?
You've got to be kidding me.
The UN Command's Special Investigation Team and the South Korean Joint Civilian-Military Investigation Group submitted their results to the UN and the UN council acknowledged that they are accurate. The North is trying to avoid responsibility when the international community is accusing it for the Cheonan sinking. How funny is that.
Even Kim Jong-Il's eldest son, Kim Jong-Nam, admitted that North Korea attacked the Cheonan in order to conceal the failure of Kim Jong-Un's currency reform.
Why are they so shameless...
Before the North submits in a denial of the Cheonan sinking, it should first formally apologize for its wrongdoing and promise that such an incident will not happen again.
