She was responding to claims that unnamed countries have intercepted on two occasions in the past six months shipments from North Korea to a Syrian government agency long responsible for chemical weapons production.

Reuters reported this week that a record of the intercepts is contained in a new report by independent experts, submitted this month to the U.N. Security Council.
