north korean missle factory found inside a ship

NEW DELHI -- Tae Min Hun, the dour captain of the North Korean freighter Kuwolsan, glared icily from the bridge as tempers around him soared in the midday heat. On June 30, 1999, as customs agents in India's northwestern port city of Kandla waited impatiently to board the vessel, Tae received urgent instructions from Pyongyang: At all cost, let no one open the cargo boxes.

Dean would have people far worse than this:

Cohen: North hasn't violated agreement
The United States has downplayed concerns that North Korea has reneged on its commitment to refrain from nuclear weapons development, saying it lacks firm evidence that Pyongyang has broken the agreed framework of the accord.

On Sunday, U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen said North Korea was not in violation of the agreement. However, he said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the United States is concerned about the project.

"We believe that the agreed framework is still in place, and that was to freeze the North Koreans' production capability for producing nuclear weapons in place," Cohen said. "We have not received any information that would indicate that they have violated that agreement as of yet. It's something that we are now following with great interest."

A resumption of nuclear research by North Korea would certainly raise tension in the Korean peninsula, where North Korea and South Korea are separated by a heavily fortified border. The United States has 37,000 troops in the South.

Tensions were heightened earlier this year when a North Korean submarine with commandos was discovered off the South Korean coast.

"Our concern is for the stability in the region, and North Korea's overtures to the U.S. have come because the Chinese and Russians reduced their support and they felt more isolated," Denoon said.

North Korea and the United States agreed in 1994 that North Korea would receive the oil supplies and two safe, light-water reactors in exchange for abandoning its nuclear program. The reactors were to be built by a consortium led by the United States, South Korea and Japan.

As the days pass, and months, more and more of these kind of things will be revealed to the world. Saddam's sons had much of their missile armaments shipped out to sea, just like this. Were these Iraq's? Let's see, being shipped to Libya..... the stories were that Saddam (his sons actually, he was dead and still is) had shipped out the SCUD missiles on board freighter ships that had supposed destinations of ..... Libya. gee, I don't know....

by sh you mean Saddam Hussein's 3 ships?

it does not matter if that story is untrue.
The Indians have solid evidence in the form of
a confiscated ship that is still in their possession.

This is going to be the big story for the next 5-10 years.
North Korea is filled with a schizoid leadership.

The only way out is to convince the Chinese that it is
in their interest to look the other way while we clean up over there. We may have to give something in exchange(e.g. taiwan).

UR#7.....
