Bloomberg: Iran was Destination of NK-Made Weapons

Bloomberg news agency says that Iran was the destination of North Korean-made weapons aboard a Georgian-flagged cargo plane that was halted in Thailand on December 12th.

Quoting a confidential report to the United Nations Security Council by the Thai government, the news agency said that the cargo’s destination was Mahrabad Airport in Tehran. The report also said that the exporter was Korea Mechanical Industry Company of North Korea.

The freight included 49 rockets, a rocket launcher, three crates of fuses and rocket- propelled grenades.

Diplomats to the U.N. said on the condition of anonymity that the Security Council’s Sanctions Committee is assessing the Thai government’s report and is writing letters that will be sent to North Korea and other relevant governments --- Iran and Georgia --- requesting further information.
