North Korea has been getting equipment and technology for its nuclear weapons program through its embassy in Berlin, Germany's intelligence chief says. BfV head Han-Georg Maassen told German public television NDR that German authorities suspect underground markets and shadow buyers got their hands on the parts and the North Koreans procured them in Germany. He did not say exactly what equipment the North Koreans bought, but said it is likely duel-use technology, meaning it has civilian and military purposes. The German TV report says the North carried out its activities in Germany in 2016 and 2017, but that a North Korean diplomat tried to buy a monitor used in chemical weapons production as early as 2017. A North Korean embassy spokesman denies the report, telling cnn it is "simply not true." 德国情报机构负责人说，朝鲜一直通过其驻柏林大使馆获得开发核武器项目所需的设备和技术。 德国联邦宪法保卫局负责人马森对德国公共电视台NDR说，德国当局怀疑黑市上的掮客购买零部件，朝鲜驻德国大使馆再从他们手中购买。 马森没有具体说朝鲜购买了什么设备，但是说很可能是军民两用技术。 德国公共电视台报道，朝鲜在2016年和2017年进行了购买行动，但是一名朝鲜外交官在2017年曾试图购买一台生产化学武器所需要的监视器。 |
