North Korean ship with 'military cargo' held by Panama
Panama's
president says his country has seized a North Korean-flagged ship carrying
"undeclared military cargo" from Cuba. He said the ship, which was
searched on its way into the Panama Canal, was being held for further
investigation. The ship was stopped near Manzanillo on the Atlantic side of the
canal.
Under UN sanctions, North Korea is banned from weapons exports and the import of all but small arms. Sanctions were strengthened after its third nuclear test on 12 February, including measures increasing states' authority to inspect suspicious cargo. In recent years a number of North Korean ships have been searched under the UN sanctions. North Korea has an ongoing missile development programme
