Canadian Charged with Trying to Export Nuclear Devices to Iran
[Toronto Star] Mike Funston - A Toronto man has been charged with attempting to ship devices to Iran that can be used to make enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. Mahmoud Yadegari, 38, a Canadian citizen who emigrated from Iran in 1998, is charged with attempting to procure and export to Iran 10 pressure transducers, RCMP Insp. Greg Johnson said. The charges followed a tip to U.S. agents from a Boston-area company that sold the $1,100 devices to a Canadian. The devices were shipped to Toronto by truck and were bound for Dubai and then to Iran, Johnson said.
