Prosecutors have decided to drop charges against five suspects found last month with 35 tonnes of weapons on a plane from North Korea, a source close to the case has revealed.

The source did not elaborate yesterday on the reasons leading to the prosecutors' decision, which will be announced today.

Pilot Mikhail Petukhou, 54, from Belarus, Alexandr Zrybnev, 53, Viktor Abdullayev, 58, Vitaliy Shumkov, 54, and Ilyas Issakov, 53, all from Kazakhstan, faced court on five charges, including illegal arms possession.

Their Russian-made plane refuelled at Don Mueang airport on Dec 11 en route from North Korea to Ukraine, via Sri Lanka. Authorities searched the plane and found the weapons the next day.

The men were arrested and charged with carrying weapons without permission, illegally bringing them to Thailand and failing to inform officials of the items.

Denying any involvement in transporting weapons, the five claimed their employer told them they were carrying oil-drilling equipment.

Crime Suppression Division police, which handled the case, asked prosecutors to indict the suspects on Jan 14.

Chief prosecutor for foreign affairs Sirisak Tiyaphan yesterday refused to predict the prosecution's decision today but said one element prosecutors would use as a basis was whether the offences were committed in Thailand. The men only stopped at the airport for refuelling.

But Kayasit Pissawanprakan, chief of the Criminal Litigation Office, said the attorney-general also had to endorse the decision made by prosecutors.

"If the Criminal Litigation Office decides not to indict, and the attorney-general agrees to it on the same day, the suspects will be freed," he said.

The source said the five were likely to be released from detention today. The five were detained at the Bangkok Remand Prison. Security authorities and arms experts suspect the weapons on the plane were destined for Iran, but the Teheran government denies this.

The shipment breached the UN Security Council resolution which bans North Korea from exporting arms and weapons-related materiel.
