One Shady Operator Provides Glimpse of Supply Line to Iran
(Los Angeles Times) Shashank Bengali - In October 2005, Austrian authorities intercepted a parcel containing graphite cylinders, which can be used in ballistic missiles, addressed to Iran from Austrian-born Daniel Frosch's tiny export company in Graz. In late 2006, they tried to arrest him for attempting to sell valves and other components with military applications to Iranian state-owned companies. Today, U.S. officials say, his UAE-based International General Resourcing FZE sells banned electronics and other material to Tehran as part of a global maze of illicit suppliers, fly-by-night companies, crooked shipping agents and other corrupt officials in Iran's sanctions-busting schemes.
