"India seizes, searches North Korean ship" by New York Times | August 11, 2009
NEW DELHI - India has watched warily for signs that North Korea is helping Burma build a nuclear reactor.
After two days of searching and of questioning the crew, India’s navy and coast guard handed the ship over to police and intelligence services, having found no evidence of illegal cargo, according to the Press Trust of India. Ashok Chand, a senior police officer in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, told Reuters that further tests were being conducted.
Indian officials said it was carrying more than 16,000 tons of sugar bound for the Middle East. But the ship’s proximity to Burma, a North Korean ally, and the fact that it had no apparent reason to be in the area raised suspicions. The coast guard intercepted the ship after chasing it for six hours and detained 39 North Korean crew members.
The cargo ship, M V San, was spotted Friday, officials said, and detained under the authority of the UN resolution passed after North Korea tested a nuclear device in May. The ship anchored without authorization in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a territory of India in the Bay of Bengal, last week, according to the Indian military.
Indian authorities have detained a North Korean vessel and are searching it for radioactive material, the first time a ship has been seized and boarded under sanctions adopted by the United Nations Security Council in June.
