“A cargo aircraft transporting over 35 tonnes of arms from North Korea has been seized and its five-man crew detained after landing at Bangkok airport for refuelling, Thai officials have said. The arms included missiles and grenades, Panitan Wattanayagorn, a spokesman for the Thai government, told Al Jazeera on Sunday. ‘The incident is under investigation by the Thai police and tomorrow the five gentlemen will be processed through a court of law in Thailand,’ Wattanayagorn said. ‘We believe that since the plane came from North Korea it violated UN resolutions and we will proceed accordingly.’”
