N. Korea weapons seizure may affect talks - Washington Times

BANGKOK -- The seizure in Thailand of some 35 tons of war weaponry from North Korea and the arrest of five foreigners charged with illegal possession of arms may prove a blow to efforts by the United States to negotiate a halt to Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions, observers said Sunday.

Thai authorities, reportedly acting on a tip from their American counterparts, impounded an Ilyushin 76 transport plane carrying explosives, rocket-propelled grenades and components for surface-to-air missiles during a refueling stop at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport on Saturday. Four men from Kazakhstan and one from Belarus were detained.

...SNIP....

"I cannot disclose the destination of their plane because this involves national security. The government will provide more details on this," Police Col. Supisarn Pakdinarunart said.

North Korea has been accused widely of violating U.N. sanctions by selling weapons to nations in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

I was all set to go to Texas and get me a fully and some grenades from JimBob's Guns, BarBQue, Baitshop, and Fireworks Stand...Home of the Glory Be Wedding Chapel. I didn't know I could get it at Uncle Minh's Super Buffet. :)
