LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man has been charged with shipping weapons and ammunition to North Korea. Federal authorities in Los Angeles say 41-year-old Shenghua Wen told investigators they were to be used for a surprise attack on South Korea. Wen is expected to appear in court on Tuesday. Authorities say Wen came to the U.S. more than a decade ago on a student visa from China and stayed in the country illegally. Federal authorities say Wen admitted to exporting weapons and ammunition to North Korea at the request of its government. The FBI says it also seized 50,000 rounds of ammunition from Wen’s home in Ontario, California.
