Former Iranian Diplomat Sought by U.S. Is Arrested in Britain
[Newsweek] Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball - Nosratollah Tajik, who served as Iranian ambassador to Jordan and has been previously linked to terror attacks in Israel, was arrested by British authorities last month at the request of the U.S. Justice Department. A sealed indictment filed by federal prosecutors in Chicago charges Tajik with seeking to purchase night-vision goggles for delivery to Iran from U.S. companies, in violation of U.S. export-control laws. A former top FBI counterterror official said it is likely that the equipment was ultimately destined for Hizballah.
