PANAMA-NKOREA-CUBA-MISSILE

A Panamanian soldier guards containers (out of frame) of the North Korean Chong Chon Gang vessel where an alleged ageing Soviet-built radar control system for surface-to-air missiles was found, at the Manzanillo Port in Colon, 90 km from Panama City, on July 19, 2013. UN sanctions experts will go to Panama soon to investigate a North Korean ship that was intercepted carrying weapons, a US diplomat said Thursday. The vessel set out from Cuba and was trying to enter the Panama Canal when it was stopped by an anti-narcotics patrol, which later found the weapons concealed beneath several tonnes of sugar.
