Is anyone surprised at all by this news?:

Iran has imported piles of North Korean-made conventional weapons, the Washington Post reported Thursday, even though both countries are under UN sanctions over their nuclear programs. Weapons also went to two Palestinian militant organizations, the Iran-backed Hezbollah and the Islamist Hamas, the paper said.

To avoid international pursuit, the North Korean weapons were “shipped halfway around the globe in sealed containers, labeled as oil-drilling supplies, that passed through a succession of freighters and ports,” including China, Southeast Asia and the Dubai free trade zone, before reaching Iran, it said.  [Chosun Ilbo]

Make sure to read the rest of the article to see China’s complicity in the smuggling of these weapons to Iran.  I am still wondering if any of the detonators sent to Iran from North Korea is being used in IEDS against American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan?
