There always has been reports about North Koreans being involved in building tunnels all around the world....Hezbollah, Hammas, various countries in Africa, and of course Burma.
Recently, the Democratic Voice of Burma released some new images of tunnels in Burma that are reportedly built with assistance from North Korean engineers.
Summary of the report:
- New images have emerged that show North Korean and other foreign advisers in Burma consulting with officials on what now appears to be an extensive network of some 800 underground tunnels across much of the country.
- Photographs of a number of tunnel sites clearly show North Korean advisers present. In one photograph of a work site at Pyinmanar Taung Nyo, dated 29 May 2006, North Korean advisers are seen training Burmese soldiers and technicians in tunnel construction.
- Leaked engineering designs show, however, that some sections of the tunnels are wide enough to allow trucks to enter and leave. There is also storage space for food and weaponry, and separate rooms that would hold around 600 personnel for several months.
Here's the slide show of all the photos carried by Democratic Voice of Burma on its June 24th report.
