Panama charges North Korea weapons ship crew

PanARMENIAN.Net - Panama has charged the crew of a North Korean ship detained in Panama after it was found to be carrying weapons, BBC News reported.

Prosecutor Javier Caraballo accused the 35 crew members of endangering public security by illegally transporting war material.
