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
