So the first article I read said that nukes were found so I was kind of having a wtf moment. Second article has everything identified and it is only some seriously antiquated air defense system.

Whoa. I had to laugh at this quote. That poor, backwards ass country.

It ended with a five-day, eventually violent standoff between Panamanian marines and 35 North Korean crew members, armed largely with sticks, who were subdued and arrested while their captain, claiming he was having a heart attack, tried to commit suicide.

Do you want to tell NK's generals that your shipment of arms was taken by Panama? They punished their Olympic team for losing...

Absolutely not. If I were them, I'd be begging to stay in Panama. Panamanian prison is probably better than being a regular citizen in North Korea.
