Panama finds weapons hidden in North Korean ship arriving from Cuba
Panamanian authorities seized a North Korean-flagged vessel with an undeclared haul of weaponry in the Panamanian port of Manzanillo on Monday night, Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli said.
Panama's security minister, Jose Raul Mulino, told CNN the ship had arrived from Cuba.
Panamanian authorities had received intelligence the ship was carrying drugs, but a search Monday revealed military equipment hidden among a cargo of brown sugar.
It was not immediately clear what sort of military equipment was found.

The liberal parasites are at it again.
Try not to confuse intelligence with wealth. Most who have money did not earn it.
It would be foolish to think that someone sold out could ever be consider intelligent.
Hey Panamanian people we're behind and say take the North Korean ship out to international waters and sink it in front of a international viewing audience..Maybe then if its Russia,China or who ever that put these illegal arms on this ship will agree it was an ignorent move not only for who ever supplied the arms but the ships owners now without a ship!!The UN and others send out a clear signal that this illegal activity won't be tolerated from anyone even Russia,China as well the advocates of wars much like our own MIC here!!You've been warned whoever you are!!
Hay pete, when did you join the tea party?
@Big Shiz,you just have to handle some people differently that's all..Don't curse at me calling me a tea bagger,I'm more intelligent than that as a democrate,a peaceful one at that and I just say it as I see it that's all.Bother you!!
When did you become a liberal parasite?
@California,you know the definition of a parasite California,define it for me or shut the hell up because as a host you have nothing for anyone here to live on,brains that is foriegner!!
Pete, we went to war with Great Britain in 1812 partly to establish freedom on the high seas which the British totally disregarded by impressing or drafting our sailors into their navy and by raiding merchant ships. Now it appears that we have completely reversed ourselves. This is totally wrong and needs to stop!!!
@George Patton,you want to screw these terrorists minds up,give them an olive branch talking diplomatic,peacefully to them for once!!Remember terrorists didn't go after us until after we initially invaded them right..America is its own enemy and if we stop our meddling in other countrys business all the time they may stop bothering us as well !!And George tell McCain and the MIC to stop advocating war for once and give peace a chance letting us have that military money to use here as well!!
Although the USSR was dissolved in 1991, their
international influence can still be felt – quite
alarmingly. This is NOT to say that the Russian
government participated in this latest event in any
way. However, I'm willing to bet that the missiles in
questions can be tied to Soviet technology. Similarly,
many of our proxy 'allies' such as Iraq and
Afghanistan continue to use and profit from U.S.
provided weapons. History has a long (and apparently,
unforgiving) memory.
