The New York Times quoted the as-yet-unreleased UN report that also said that Pyongyang's missile specialists have been seen at Syrian weapon-making facilities. The allegations come after new reports of chlorine gas being used by Syrian forces came to light. The tiles are said to be used to construct facilities where chemical weapons are produced, the BBC said. Syria signed up to the Chemical Weapons Convention and agreed to have its declared chemical weapons stock destroyed in 2013 after a sarin gas attack killed hundreds of people in Ghouta. It has been accused of repeatedly using banned chemical weapons in the civil war since then, the BBC said.
