North Korea may have aided Hezbollah: U.S. report

[Canuck_Buck]

....apparently....the program began in the 1980s with visits by Hezbollah members to North Korea for training and expanded after 2000 with the dispatch of North Koreans to Lebanon to train Hezbollah members how to build underground bunkers to store arms, food and medical facilities.

It said this training "significantly improved Hezbollah's ability to fight the Israelis" during the 2006 war.

The CRS document also cited a report by a prominent South Korean academic, Moon Chung-in, that the Mossad Israeli intelligence agency believed that "vital missile components" used by Hezbollah against Israel came from North Korea.

....what erks me is that if North Korea is taken off the terrorist list, it can be free to provide more aid....we already now Iran and syria are helping...I wonder what other country is involved ?

North Korea has aided every terrorist group out there who was willing to pay. Our mainman George said that North Korea was a part of his "axis of evil." Now he has wussed out and kow-towed to Kim Jong Il: Just like Bill Klinton did. Go figure.

Taking North Korea off the list of terrorist states would be a monumental blunder.Can most favored nation status for North Korea be far away?

It will be very ironic if N. Korea ever gives technoligy to Hestbollah to use against Israel tha Israel sold to them.

I just don't get it. One year ago they were tops on the short list of rogue countries. They were working on the bomb and there was lots of press about them. They detonated a crude nuclear bomb that some scientists say was a technical failure and then as soon as they gave themselves nuke status they bellied up to the West and said they would open the nuke program for inspection and would only pursue energy nuclear research. Now we believe them and want to remove them from the short list with that midget whack job at the wheel.
