WASHINGTON -- Federal prosecutors investigating the smuggling of nuclear technology disclosed Friday that a South African businessman has pleaded guilty to arranging illegal exports of American-made equipment both to Pakistan and its regional rival, India.
Asher Karni, an Israeli who lives in South Africa, entered the guilty plea in September and has been cooperating with investigators, prosecutors said. The prosecutors kept the proceeding secret until Friday, however, when they unsealed the plea agreement and charges they have brought against Humayun Khan, an Islamabad businessman with long-standing ties to Pakistan's military.

Lately, there have been a few scandals involving Israelis and Israel. And I am not talking about the way Israel brutally suppresses the Palestinians under occupation. That in itself is a blatant violation of international law and all moral decency. But, there have been three new scandals.
Third, there is the whole issue of Israel sharing military technology with China. The U.S. is angry with Israel over its sale of drones, unmanned aerial planes, to China. Our government believes that Israeli officials lied to them about the export of Harpy Killer drones to China. Israel claimed that it was merely refurbishing old drones which had been ...

VIENNA, Austria - The nuclear black market that supplied Iran, Libya and North Korea is small, tight-knit and appears to have been badly hurt by the exposure of its reputed head, the father of Pakistan's nuclear program, diplomats and weapons experts told The Associated Press.
