evidence
Lead #3What specific U.S. technology was smuggled, and how was it incorporated into IEDs? Understanding the technical details could prevent similar schemes.
Hossein Ahmad Larijani is wanted by the FBI for allegedly orchestrating an illegal technology smuggling scheme that supplied components used in Improvised Explosive Devices targeting U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq between 2008 and 2010. Working with an Iranian company and multiple Singapore-based firms, Larijani procured U.S.-origin technology and coordinated with co-conspirators to export restricted materials. Three co-conspirators were arrested, convicted, and deported, but Larijani and one other remain at large, making this case critical to understanding the full scope of the conspiracy and preventing future illegal arms-related exports.
