NKorean weapons were bound for Mideast: US spy chief
“An illicit North Korean arms shipment seized in Thailand last week was destined for the Middle East, the head of US intelligence said Friday.
About 30 tonnes of sanctions-busting weapons were confiscated in Bangkok on Saturday but it had remained unclear where the North Korean shipment was headed.
‘Teamwork among different agencies in the United States and partners abroad just last week led to the interdiction of a Middle East-bound cargo of North Korean weapons,’ Dennis Blair, the director of national intelligence, wrote in a commentary in the Washington Post.”
