US tracks illicit NKorean funds
Updated
US investigators, working with Interpol, are understood to have tracked 200 bank accounts linked to Pyongyang's alleged drug trafficking, counterfeiting, money laundering and weapons activities.
It's understood that at least 100 of those accounts - opened under false names - are in 10 banks in Southeast Asia, southern Europe and the Middle East. But analysts say its unclear what Washington will achieve with this latest manoeuvre and there's a danger of further isolating an unstable regime.
