| From East-Asia-Intel A group of Burmese military officers traveled to North Korea last month to study advanced technology, including nuclear and atomic energy technology. According to the opposition Democratic Voice of Burma, an Oslo-based radio, 80 military officers from the State Peace and Development Council, great cover title as the ruling military junta is called, went to the North Korean capital. The visit comes amid reports that Burma’s government plans to buy surface-to-surface missiles from North Korea. Some 20 North Korean military technicians have been spotted in Rangoon. Feasting on the local cuisine, and sending take-out home. North Korea also is helping Burma construct a Russian-made nuclear reactor located in the Myothit region of the country. Just what everyone needs in Burma. In the past, other Burmese military officers have gone to study in Russia, Pakistan and China. A total of 328 military officers left for Moscow in the past two months. On invitation from Pooty-Poot, no doubt. |
