I guess Kim Jong-il doesn't like Syria and China any more? Weren't there Syrians and Chinese on that train? This sounds like a smoke screen.
Maybe. I was personally thinking of the Uranium. Both are interesting.

A military source familiar with Korean Peninsula affairs revealed on 6 May that Syrian technicians were killed in a train explosion incident that occurred on 22 April in Yongch'on in the northwestern part of the DPRK and that the damage was especially serious in that section of the train where the Syrians were aboard, along with large equipment.
The same source noted that although the contents of the equipment are unknown, DPRK military-related personnel wearing protective suits arrived on the scene immediately after the explosion and removed debris only from that section of the train where the Syrian group had been aboard.
Consequently, there is a strong likelihood that the accident occurred when military materials were being secretly transported between the DPRK and Syria.
