Scud-laden ship arrives in Yemen

A ship at the centre of an international row after it was found to be carrying North Korean Scud missiles has docked at a naval base in Yemen.

The ship, So San, was intercepted earlier in the week by Spanish warships acting on intelligence provided by the United States.

Fifteen Scud missiles, together with warheads and drums of chemicals, were found hidden under cement bags in its hold.

However the US released the ship after Yemen issued a strongly-worded protest, saying the missiles were part of a legal order for its army.
