Re #5

I thought I might have seen this name "Chon-Ma" before. I was not sure, though. I did some search over the internet after I read your reply. I got hold of three references to Chonma.

• First, a French Report.
• Second, a Chosun Ilbo report on places in N. Korea inaccessible to World Food Program.
• Third, a report on Pakistan-North Korea connection

The first and the third one cite the 6/9/00 report by Japanese Sankei Shimbun. This Japanese report appears to include a lot of details. Did it contain detailed specs of the facility and the technical description of its operations ? There is another Korean article which exclusively deals with these details , which is attached to the article translated above.

The Choson Ilbo article from 30 January of last year about WFP restrictions in North Korea, is pretty good. Sounds like they are pretty much keeping foreigners out from food distribution in those 'precise' areas where North Korean funny business is going on. Re: your references, mine were more from Sapio's special issues, and internet research in the Japanese language with Japanese font searches.
