SEOUL, May 5 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has recently deployed about 50,000 special forces along its border with South Korea, a source here said Wednesday, as tension rises on the divided peninsula over a suspected deadly North Korean attack on a South Korean warship.

"North Korea recently completed the frontline deployment of seven light infantry divisions, which is something it had been pushing for since two to three years ago," the high-level source said, adding each division consists of about 7,000 troops.

Pictures would need to confirm it before I believed that number.    How many of them will make it back?   Doubtful food was sent with them.
