Thai Jet Fighters Forced down the Plane Carrying N. Korean Arms

A Russian daily reports.
The IL-76 freighter plane of Georgian registry which got caught while transporting N. Korean arms did not land on Thailand for refueling, but was forced down to land by Thai fighter planes after entering Thai airspace, according to Dec. 17 report by Russian daily Kommersant.
The paper reported that, as soon as the IL-76 plane which left Pyongyang entered Thai airspace, two Thai jet fighters intercepted the plane and order it to land on Don Muang Airport in Bangkok, tipped off by foreign intelligence.
This contradicts the earlier account by Thai government that the plane landed for refueling and checking tires(?.) It also suggest that the plane was physically blocked in Thai airspace before scheduled refueling stop at Sri Lanka, while carrying N. Korean weapons in violation of UN sanction. Until recently, N. Korea's arms exports have been mainly intercepted on high sea.

Didn’t Japan intercept a ship of Nork arms headed for Iran just yesterday?
I thought the Chia pet and company were saying they were close to some kind of mutual understanding with Obama after he wrote the Ronery one a love letter...
This is interesting. The American People must ask themselves how Obama can deal openly and honestly with the Nor-Coms when it’s obvious their covert activities speak otherwise?
Bush was right. “AXIS OF EVIL”
Thai Jet Fighters Forced down the Plane Carrying N. Korean Arms [Breaking]
Thai...
Arms...
Breaking...
Heads will roll. That shipment cost an arm and a leg.
LOL! beat me to it.
That very 1970s special weapon effect yeah 30 years ago LOL!
Is the Republic of Georgia involved in this in some way? Were these arms possibly going TO Georgia, since they can't count on Obama to help them against Putin? Or was this somebody else using Georgian registration?
I'm not a fan of North Korea. But I do side with Georgia against Putin's invasion of that country. And Russia appears to be involved in stopping the shipment.
In other words, what's going on here?
Wow...... this is the most important story of the week and it is being totally ignored here
Obama will break US diplomatic relations with Thailand, and/or demand UN resolutions condemning its “air piracy”.

A palm forget to be greased somewhere.
Just for everyone’s FYI, a quick inventory of the Thai Airforce:

Not a whole lot of birds, but some of what they have is pretty good. Certainly enough to force an unarmed Il-76 down.
