S-Korea questions China about N-Korean missile carrier

Seoul, South Korea: A South Korean official says Seoul is asking China whether it is the source of a missile carrier displayed by North Korea during a military parade last weekend. Military experts have pointed to China as the probable supplier of the 16-wheel truck, but China has denied it. UN Security Council resolutions ban countries from supplying arms-related materials to North Korea. North Korea used the vehicle to unveil a new long-range missile on Sunday.
