Very interesting report from FReeper AmericanInTokyo. Here's an excerpt, but there's much more info in post #1:

God Bless those enterprising, digging Japanese journalists and their film crews.

A hot one in North Korean black weapons smuggling case was captured for all of Japan to see last night at the 11 p.m. TV news on NNN Network.

The pushy and curious Japanese journalists and cameramen with their long lenses (and fluent Farsi and Korean speaking investing staff in Tokyo), discovered some VERY interesting things about the North Korean aircraft stopped this week in Thailand with Ukranian crew flying weapons in violation of US sanctions. The flight crew has been very tight lipped, but the Japanese journalists nevertheless caught some things that were most interesting...

Summary of cargo at this time:

Multiple rocket launchers - two mobile units - and two dozen 240 mm unguided rockets. The total value of weapons found in 145 large boxes that weigh nearly 40 tons all up was estimated at around Baht 600 million.No nuclear munitions or weapons of mass destruction were found on board.

Our "journalists" wouldn't cover this type of story unless a conservative was piloting the aircraft... The Japanese are lucky they don't have New York Times type journalists...
