The North Koreans were reported by AP in 2000 as having been involved in the caves of Konar with chemical weapons production for Al Qaeda. In the caves they were joined by fighters from Chechen, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, etc. We do know of North Korean activity in Afghanistan.
Also, North Korea sold ANTHRAX to Al Qaeda in 1998.
I suspect they are/were working in those camps in labs designed to produce either VX, anthrax, or smallpox (DPRK KPA soldiers STILL receive smallpox vaccinations in 2001 although the disease has been gone in the world since 1970), or perhaps sarin gas. We are either late, or stopped them in time. If they have the delivery capability you can bet the US and Allies are in a very dangerous position, not to mention the Continental United States if the AQ and other networks have not been fully smashed yet.
One thing is for sure. No North Korean leaves the DPRK on a passport without the full knowledge, control and financial backing of the Goverment of Pyongyang.
This afternoon North and South Korea broke off reunification talks; the South is on military alert. If we so much as catch one carcass of a North Korean, or better yet, get one alive and 'encourage him' to tell us all what they are doing, we may in fact need to start to prosecute a war on North Korea in addition to the one we are probably heading into with Iraq.
It really does look like we need to do a clean sweep. It's only going to get worse in the future. Now is the Time.
I hadn't heard that yet. A dear friend is stationed in So. Korea.
