According to Fox News<\/a>, Panama has seized a North Korean ship which tried to transit the Panama Canal from Cuba with sophisticated missile technology;<\/p>\n

“We had suspected this ship, which was coming from Cuba and headed to North Korea, might have drugs aboard so it was brought into port for search and inspection,” on the Atlantic coast of the country, the president [Ricardo Martinelli] said on Radio Panama on Monday.<\/p>\n

“When we started to unload the shipment of sugar we located containers that we believe to be sophisticated missile equipment, and that is not allowed,” Martinelli stressed, describing a dramatic scene in which he said the ship’s captain tried to kill himself.<\/p>\n

“The captain has tried to commit suicide, and the crew also rioted,” when police moved in, Martinelli said. “So we are holding this vessel for further investigation.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

President Martinelli Tweeted the above picture. From the New York Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to keep unloading the ship and figure out exactly what was inside,\u201d he said. \u201cYou cannot go around shipping undeclared weapons of war through the Panama Canal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reuters quoted Javier Caraballo, Panama\u2019s top anti-drugs prosecutor, as telling local television the ship was en route to North Korea.<\/p>\n

The seizure comes as Panama and South Korea, Pyongyang\u2019s sworn enemy, have been strengthening ties and exploring a possible free trade agreement. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now let me get this straight – the two countries involved are North Korea and Cuba, arguably the two poorest nations in the world. Their people are starving, but the governments are trading sophisticated weapons technology. And to top it off, they need the weapons to export “the communist revolution” worldwide. Yeah, looks like a plan worth executing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
