Three North Koreans arrested, shipping drugs to Japan
It is shameful that North Korea relies so much on selling drugs to the rest of the world. Is is also shameful that that is their best export.  It is also odd that a South Korean was arrested in connection with this.
Quote:
Japanese police arrested three men and raided a North Korean vessel yesterday in connection with alleged drug smuggling from the cash-strapped communist state, officials and reports said.
The men are accused of helping smuggle several hundred kilograms of amphetamines from North Korea to Japan, Jiji Press and public broadcaster NHK said.
Tokyo police arrested Woo Si-yun, an unemployed 59-year-old South Korean living in Japan, and alleged Japanese gangster Katsuhiko Miyata, 58, the news organizations said.
"We think ... that [the South Korean] had been in charge of contacting and coordinating with North Korea,"the coast guard official said on condition of anonymity.
