North Korea And The British Arms Dealer -- The Telegraph

North Korea tried to use a British arms dealer to sell an inter-continental missile system that is capable of hitting London from Damascus, a UN report has revealed.

Michael Ranger, a businessman jailed last year for violating British export controls, told a UN team that he had been approached by North Korean middlemen to broker sales of an intercontinental missile among other arms systems.

The allegations were contained in an exhaustive report on sanctions-busting North Korean arm sales by a UN panel headed by Martin Uden, the former British ambassador to Seoul.

Mr Ranger was jailed last year for selling between 70 and 100 surface to air missiles to Azerbaijan in contravention of British export controls. The further information given by Mr Ranger on the ballistic missile system was withheld by the panel until after Mr Ranger's application to appeal his jail sentence was denied in March this year.

"According to Mr Ranger, the price per unit was in excess of $100 million for those inter-range ballistic missiles and would be sold not less than three at a time," the report said.
