Thailand drops prosecution of N. Korea arms cargo plane crew

BANGKOK, Thailand - Two crew members of a cargo plane carrying a large shipment of unlisted North Korean arms that were seized at Bangkok airport last December are transferred to the Thai immigration office in Bangkok after their release from jail. Thai authorities have decided to drop charges against the plane's five crew members -- four Kazaks and one Belarusian -- to avoid affecting relations with the two countries.
