Well, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman says those weapons were bound for militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah in parts of Syria and Iran.
Sanctions are imposed forbidding NK from exporting any weapons. But then how will Kim Jong-il feed his people (get it?)?
From the story:
'The U.N. imposed sanctions banning North Korea from exporting any arms after the communist regime conducted a nuclear test and test-fired missiles. Impoverished North Korea is believed to earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year by selling missiles, missile parts and other weapons to countries such as Iran, Syria and Myanmar.'Oh right. They get the money by ... continuing to export weapons.
Lieberman described North Korea, Syria and Iran as the "axis of evil" and a terrible threat to the whole world.
Israel is known for causing trouble and running to the big boys for help, but their intelligence service is pretty solid. And certainly, rumors that sound this juicy have an air of truth in them, don't they?

Hmmm. Not the first time Israel has tried to land NK in it. They did it before saying they bombed a Syrian apparently nuclear facility they said was built by North Koreans.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. I'm more interested in Israel's motives for trying to do one over on NK.
That's what I was thinking, too, Asadal. Blaming North Korea for anything is so easy. It doesn't matter how likely the story is.
