“Iran was the destination of 40 tons of weapons from North Korea that were seized in Bangkok on Dec. 12, according to a confidential report to the United Nations Security Council by Thailand’s government.
A copy of the report, obtained from diplomats whose governments hold Security Council seats, says the cargo’s destination was Airport Mahrabad in Tehran. It says the plane departed from the North Korean capital Pyongyang and that the shipper was the Korea Mechanical Industry Co.
Thai authorities seized the Russian-made Ilyushin II-76 cargo aircraft after receiving tips from several different intelligence agencies. The report says the cargo included 49 rockets, a rocket launcher, three crates of fuses and rocket- propelled grenades.”
