North Korea sells Egypt 24 medium-range missiles


SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Tuesday, November 27, 2001
North Korea concluded an agreement to sell 24 No-Dong medium-range missiles to Egypt according to published reports.

The accord was signed earlier this year. The South Korean daily JoongAng Ilbo said the sale will include both missiles and related technology.

South Korean diplomatic sources confirmed reports of a missile deal between Pyongyang and Cairo. U.S. defense sources said a previous North Korean deal to sell 50 No-Dong missile engines to Egypt was stopped by Washington, Middle East Newsline reported.

"North Korea concluded the transaction secretly with Egypt earlier this year," JoongAng Ilbo quoted a diplomatic source as saying.

The newspaper identified the North Korean missile as the Rodong, named after the town where the medium-range weapon is being produced. The No-Dong has a range of at least 1,000 kilometers.
