Australian Transport Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed that weapons were found on an Australian freighter carrying cargo from North Korea to Iran. "The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade are investigating the circumstances around this event."
DFAT confirmed that a number of containers aboard the ship ANL Australia were offloaded in the United Arab Emirates and inspected by local customs authorities.
The Australia-owned, Bahaman-flagged ship was said to have been carrying a cache of banned rocket-propelled grenades and other arms from North Korea.
