Yemen: US Lets N.Korea Scud Ship Sail to Yemen
Wed December 11, 2002 12:31 PM ET
SANAA (Reuters) - Yemen said on Wednesday the United States had released a North Korean ship carrying Scud missiles and that it was sailing to the Arab state.
The official Yemeni news agency Saba said Secretary of State Collin Powell told Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh by telephone that the crew had returned to the ship and that the weapons cargo was headed to Yemen.

Earlier, U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney told Saleh the United States had agreed to release the vessel because its cargo was legal, the agency said.

The ship was seized by Spain and the United States in the Arabian Sea on Monday. Yemen protested to both countries, saying the missiles had been bought for its army from North Korea.
