| A South Korean exporter has been arrested on charges of selling strategic goods that can be used to manufacture nuclear weapons to a Middle Eastern country. Prosecutors in Uijeongbu City said Thursday they and the National Intelligence Service arrested the man identified as Lee (45) on charges of smuggling 15 tons of potassium fluoride, whose export is restricted, on May 31 this year for US$27,500 to a country in the Middle East. Prosecutors said Lee forged documents to make it look as if he was exporting wood preservative. U.S. intelligence authorities suspect the buyer of activities related to nuclear weapons development. They did not identify the country for diplomatic reasons. |
