Alleged Iranian Nuke Smuggling Plot Involving New York City Banks Uncovered

A New York district attorney announced a sweeping indictment, charging a businessman with setting up accounts at New York banks to help Iran get nuclear weapons materials.

The 118-count indictment from Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau’s office accused Chinese national Li Fang Wei and his company LIMMT Economic and Trade Co. LLC of violating a United Nations embargo with nearly 60 transactions over the past two years.

The indictment said Li used shell companies and bank accounts with aliases to transfer money for the transactions between November 2006 and September 2008.

But…But…Hillary made friends with the Chinese and PBO’s visit to Turkey were the Islamist said they like us now.

What went wrong?
