“Toronto Man” charged with trying to export nuclear technology to Iran

The guy was born in Iran.   I guess we know where it loyalties lie.  There’s also a good chance that he wasn’t working alone, which means we should be able to nab more than just this guy.  Hopefully this leads to something bigger like a terrorist cell or Iranian spy group.

A Toronto man is facing numerous charges after allegedly trying to send nuclear technology to Iran, a country under intense international pressure to curtail its nuclear ambitions, police said Friday.The RCMP, through a joint investigation with the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security, allege the man tried to procure and export pressure transducers, which are used in the production of enriched uranium.

At a news conference Friday, police said the man was attempting to move the transducers from Boston to Toronto and onto Dubai, with Iran as the final destination.

The transducers have a legitimate commercial use, the RCMP said, but can also be used for military purposes….

Mahmoud Yadegari, who police said is a Toronto businessman in his mid-30s, is charged under the Customs Act and Export Import Permits Act, and is also accused of violating U.N. sanctions on Iran.

Police said Yadegari was born in Iran and is a Canadian citizen….

It’s alleged he took steps to conceal the identification of the transducers so he could export them overseas without export permits….

    I don't understand why the Iranians don't just wait a few months until all those Pakistani nukes come on the market since the Pakistani nation will fall to the Taliban any day now. It has been claimed that Pakistan has about a hundred nukes so even if many get secured by US and Indian special forces and many others get quickly sold to AQ and the others, Iran should be able to pick up twenty or so. Given that they mainly want to nuke Jerusalem and Tel Aviv (for anti Israel purposes), Mecca and Medina (for end of the world chaos purposes), the Vatican and Washington (for kicks) and a few other targets, it is not like they need all that many nukes. Why the need for home grown nukes?

    There's no guarantee Pakistan will fall to the Taliban, and even if it does, they probably have safeguards in place to see the nukes don't fall into the Taliban's hands. Would you want to play with a booby trapped nuke? And, they want the ability to replace the ones they use, people that are willing to use nukes can never get enough.
