| [Kyodo: Korea] Japanese-made precision tools and special steel were found among missile-manufacturing equipment that was confiscated on a North Korean freighter detained at an Indian port in June 1999 while en route to Pakistan, a former senior Indian government official said Saturday. While North Korea is known to have provided missile know-how to Pakistan in return for nuclear weapons technology, this is the first concrete example of how Japanese equipment ended up being used in North KoreaŽs proliferation of missile technology. |
