If it was shipped from Syria to N.K. via rail, it would had to have made one circuitous route to get there, crossing many different national borders.

You can bet China would not let a train transit cross country without knowing the contents.

Re #23

I think that it was being transported from N. Korean production facilities via rail and loaded on Syrian transport plane waiting at a N. Korean airport.

Reread the article, the Syrians was in NK deveoping the weapons and the plane was there to pick them up.

Some Rocket fuels would require protective suits.

As would anything radioactive. The protective suits, in the second case, would only keep the contaminated dust off of the people and (if gas masks were issued) our of their lungs. They would still be radiated, like a bag of microwave JiffyPop.
