At the request of the U.S., Germany has
intercepted a shipment of chemicals which can be
used to make chemical weapons, reports the German
weekly Der Spiegel.

Some 30 tons of sodium cyanide were officially
being shipped by a German company to a Singapore
warehouse, but Washington believes the material
was headed for North Korea.

Sodium cyanide, commonly used in the treatment of
metals, is also a key ingredient in the
manufacture of the deadly nerve gas Tabun
(dimethylphosphoramido-cyanidate).

In its issue which hits newsstands tomorrow, Der
Spiegel says Germany´s intelligence service issued
a warning last week about attempts by North Korea
to get a hold of banned material under cover of
businesses based in China and Singapore, according
to an Agence France-Presse summary.

European news agencies say Berlin last month
intercepted a shipment of German-made aluminum
tubes likely destined for use in North Korea´s
nuclear program.
