According to S. Korean media which relayed original Yomiuri report, multi-national coalition at the time was tracking this ship from the start. It was originally heading for Iraqi port. However, N. Koreans found out they were being tracked, and changed their course to Syria. Later all crews aboard reportedly got accolade from Kim Jong-il, who said, "The Party's military again stood out."

There you go: Saddam didn’t need to produce any WMD, he could have smuggled a warhead from the Norks and placed it on a Scud or an al-Hussein.

The South Korean report is incorrect. The agreement to buy the Scud-C’s was inked in Damascus in January of 1991. The coalition had no prior knowledge of the shipment and to avoid detection the al-Yarmouk sailed around the horn of Africa. Casablanca was its last port to bunker (refuel). The cargo manifest stated that the final port was Cyprus (a short sail from the real destination, Lattakia). Interestingly, Sec of Sate James Baker arrived in Damascus for talks the same day the shipment arrived. He knew nothing about it.

Michael Ross. Interesting name, but probably common. There is a Michael Ross convicted in Connecticut for molesting girls. Wonder if there is any connection to Epstein and Maxwell and Shamir. Ghislaine Maxwell was supposed to be imprisoned in Connecticut, but for some reason this was changed to Florida.
