North Korea could sell weapons of mass destruction to Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hezbullah

Here's former US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton on the death of North Korea's Kim Jong-Il.

Let's go to the videotape.



Note what he said about North Korea potentially 'auctioning off' nuclear weapons. Given North Korea's past history with both Iran and Syria, as well as with Hamas and Hezbullah, many of the likely buyers for those weapons would be in our region. The JPost's Yaakov Katz adds:

Former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton raised the possibility on Monday that Kim Jong-un might have difficulty in stabilizing his regime and will need to sell off some of North Korea’s military capabilities to provide for his people.

If this happens, Israel will need to be on alert to look out for the construction of new nuclear reactors in places like Syria, or the arrival of large shipments of missiles to terrorist groups like Hezbollah.

While we may intercept weapons' shipments, we are clearly not going to be the ones to send troops to North Korea to stop the shipments' originating.

What could go wrong?
