Japanese police raid over bioweapons fear

Police in Japan have raided two firms on suspicion of illegally selling equipment to North Korea that could be used to make biological weapons. The Tokyo companies are suspected of exporting equipment in 2002 that could cultivate the germs used in such weapons. The two unnamed companies were reported to have sent their exports to North Korea via Taiwan. The companies are suspected of infringing  the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law, under which exporters need to apply for a government license before selling such items abroad.
