On the front page of the Wall Street Journal this morning, photos of missile parts being smuggled on a North Korean ship. Panamanian officials detained the ship after reports surfaced that it could be carrying drugs. Instead, investigators found surface-to-air missile components hidden under bricks of sugar. The ship, which was coming from Cuba, has U.S. officials worried that a bilateral arms trade could be growing between the two countries. Cuban authorities quickly claimed ownership of the missile parts, saying they were being sent to North Korea for repair and then would be returned.
