Re: North Korean Ship
You just can't make this stuff up. Interesting, thanks for the article.
Of course, the US government is pissed off. The Egyptians should be buying their arms from the US of A.

Re: North Korean Ship
A North Korean vessel, with a Cambodian flag, and carrying 30,000 RPGs, sailed to the Suez Canal bound for Egypt in August. Because the ship was monitored by the United States, a tip was sent to Egyptian authorities prior to its passage, and it was stopped. When officials dug through the supposed cargo, the weapons were discovered. It reveals what the Washington Post described on October 1 as a “booming illicit arms trade” by North Korea.
The rust-bucket ship Jie Shun carried 24,000 RPGs and the components to complete 6,000 more. The ship was described as so old and rusty that officials figured that weapons run would be its last voyage. Who were the recipients of the shipment? Here’s the twist: the buyer was Egypt.
