| From Geostrategy-Direct, subs North Korea is shipping arms to guerrillas in Shri Lanka, according to South Korean officials. An arms shipment of machine guns and anti-tank missiles was recently intercepted enroute from North Korea to the Sri Lankan guerrilla organization, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The North Korean ships involved in the transfers were attacked and sunk by the Sri Lankan navy, according to sources quoted in the Sankei Shimbun. Good on the Sri Lankans!!! If more Nork ships were sunk for doing their dirty little business, they just might rethink their business plan. The arms support undermines North KoreaÂ’s claims to deserve to be removed from the State DepartmentÂ’s list of state sponsors of terrorism, a key objectives of the Pyongyang regime as a way to open up to U.S. trade and investment. The Norks are liars and criminals, period. They do not respond to good will. The problem is not the Norks. We know who they are and what they do. Our problem is with State, who are undermining and delusional. The LTTE is a foreign terrorist organization according to the State Department, making North Korea a key backer of terrorism. Memo to State: read your memos. According to the Sankei report, North Korean weapons were captured in March from a ship and included antitank missiles, 120 mm machine guns. 120 mm??? Not exactly an elk hunting caliber. The arms were aboard ships that left Chongjin and were sunk in October last year, and February and March this year. The weapons onboard were provided by the Workers Party of Korea military industry department (Office No. 99), and included large numbers of Model 68 automatic rifles. The Sri Lankan navy was fired on by the ships when approaching the vessels and returned fire. According to the report, the arms were made by ChinaÂ’s Norinco arms manufacturer. China and North Korea denied any involvement in the arms shipments. Lies! All lies!!! We deny everything! |

| #2 It remains a mystery why the free world hasn't long ago set up a maritime and no-fly blockade around North Korea. All they export is nuclear technology, missile hardware, counterfeit money, narcotics and some of the most warped ideology short only of Islam itself. |

| #1 interesting...perhaps NK's ships should have accidents every trip til they learn. Think the Tamils will want to keep paying for weapons at the bottom of the Indian Ocean? |
