Tehran's Chinese Missile Man
(Daily Beast) Jefferson Morley - Chinese businessman Li Fangwei, who helped Tehran develop its ballistic missiles, is one of America's most wanted, with a $5 million reward on his head. With Li's assistance, Iran's Ministry of Defense obtained high-strength metals that can be used to build ballistic missiles and gas centrifuges used in uranium enrichment. "Not since A.Q. Khan has a manufacturer of proliferation-sensitive technologies so brazenly and repeatedly sold their goods for use in prohibited programs," according to British intelligence analysts Daniel B. Salisbury and Ian J. Steward of the Centre for Science and Security Studies in London.
