This story keeps getting bigger and the implications are huge.<\/p>\n

PANAMA CITY<\/span> \u2014 Two Cuban MiG-21 jet fighters found aboard a seized North Korean cargo ship three months ago were in good repair, had been recently flown and were accompanied by \u201cbrand-new\u201d jet engines, Panamanian officials say.<\/p>\n

The assertions deepen the mystery around the Cuban military materiel that was found aboard the 508-foot North Korean freighter Chong Chon Gang, which Panamanian authorities intercepted July 10 off the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had jet fuel still inside their tanks,\u201d Foreign Minister Fernando Nunez Fabrega told McClatchy in an interview earlier this month. \u201cThey were not obsolete and in need of repair.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the MiG-21s contained manuals and maintenance records that indicated it was flying just a few months earlier, said prosecutor Javier Caraballo, who\u2019s handling an arms trafficking case against the 35 North Korean crew members. Caraballo declined a reporter\u2019s request to see the records.<\/p>\n

In publicly acknowledging the shipment after it was discovered, Cuban officials insisted that the ship was carrying only old aircraft and other parts that were being sent to North Korea for repair when Panamanian authorities, acting on a tip that it was carrying drugs, intercepted it.<\/p>\n

Panamanian officials now think that the shipment was part of what Nunez Fabrega called \u201ca major deal\u201d between the two countries, though they aren\u2019t certain of its scope.<\/p>\n

Officials searching the vessel found the MiG aircraft in sealed containers hidden under 100-pound bags of sugar \u2013 10,000 tons worth \u2013 in the ship\u2019s hold. They also uncovered 15 jet engines and other weaponry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are brand-new engines,\u201d Nunez Fabrega said. He said Cuban officials in their public statement also \u201cgeneralized over very specific items that could have gotten them in trouble,\u201d such as a guidance system for anti-aircraft missile defense.<\/p>\n

The United Nations has imposed an embargo on arms shipments to North Korea stemming from that country\u2019s 2006, 2009 and 2013 nuclear tests. A six-member U.N. team led by David Martin Uden, a former British diplomat who\u2019s the coordinator of a U.N. unit that monitors enforcement of those sanctions, examined the seized armaments during a visit to Panama in mid-August.<\/p>\n

Reached by telephone, Uden said his office \u201ccan\u2019t comment on what we found down in Panama.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.N. monitoring team still seeks answers from Cuba about the arms shipment, and the team will provide a U.N. sanctions committee with a detailed report once it has those answers.<\/p>\n

A senior aide to the foreign minister, Tomas A. Cabal, said the deal had been arranged at a meeting June 29 in Havana among Cuban leader Raul Castro, Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces Gen. Leopoldo Cintra Frias and Kim Kyok Sik, who was then the chief of the Korean People\u2019s Army general staff. Kim was dismissed from his post in August, a month after the ship was seized.<\/p>\n

Cabal said \u201cfriends overseas\u201d had told Panama that the two MiG-21s were part of a larger deal between Cuba and North Korea for 12 jet fighters. That assertion couldn\u2019t be independently confirmed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 35 crew members from the Chong Chon Gang are biding their time at a former U.S. military base near the Panama Canal. It\u2019s not exactly hard time, officials say. In fact, it\u2019s better than living aboard the vessel, which reeked of poor hygiene when it was seized.<\/p>\n

Caraballo said the crew members, while under armed guard, were enjoying conditions that were \u201c10 times better than where they were.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are quite comfortable,\u201d Caraballo said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been given clean clothing, food, cigarettes to smoke. . . . They have a television. They can play soccer each afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

They live in air-conditioned quarters, a physician attends to them and a telephone is available for them to communicate with the North Korean Embassy in Havana, he said. Panama doesn\u2019t have diplomatic relations with North Korea.<\/p>\n

While the ship\u2019s crew and captain have offered statements through Korean translators brought in from Mexico, they\u2019ve refused to sign the depositions, Caraballo said.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t been decided what will happen to the weaponry that was aboard the ship.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Panama is treading lightly in the case, wary of angering Cuba, which Nunez Fabrega said was \u201cone of the biggest customers of the free zone\u201d in Colon, where it buys abundant goods as a consequence of the five-decade-old U.S. embargo on the island. A ship travels weekly from Colon to Havana to supply Cuba\u2019s tourist hotels.<\/p>\n

Caraballo, a drug prosecutor who was summoned to handle the seized ship because initial reports said it was carrying narcotics, said the captain had affirmed that he knew containers were in the hold but \u201cdidn\u2019t know what was in the containers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The North Koreans have been charged with arms trafficking, which could carry up to a 12-year term, Caraballo said.<\/p>\n

But Nunez Fabrega said Panama was eager for the crew and ship to be on their way once North Korea settles a fine of up to $1 million imposed by the Panama Canal Authority for endangering the waterway by transporting undeclared weaponry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no interest in keeping that boat here,\u201d Nunez Fabrega said, noting that it\u2019s the largest freighter in North Korea\u2019s merchant fleet.<\/p>\n

As for the seized sugar, it\u2019s being kept in silos in Penonome in central Panama\u2019s Cocle province, Caraballo said. What will happen to it is unclear. \u201cThis sugar may last there another 10 months without it being damaged,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
