(1) Con Coughlin, Iran seeks nuclear parts through Taiwan; UN officials are
investigating claims that Iran has established a new smuggling network using
companies based in Taiwan to acquire specialised equipment that could be
used to make nuclear weapons. Telegraph, Dec. 10, 2009.

("Recent intelligence reports have revealed that officials from Iran's
Ministry of Defence have held a series of meeting with companies based in
Taiwan to buy hundreds of pressure transducers, which can be used to produce
weapons-grade uranium.")
My comment: Other than the quote, there is no need to read the rest.

My comment: Once in a while (but always on Sundays), New York Times
publishes a Style magazine. This past Sunday, there is a theme: Stephen
Heyman (text) and Robert Maxwell (photograph), The Originals | American
Dreamers; They Came (from the Far Corners of the Globe), The Saw (
Opportunity), and Boy, Did They Conquer--one of which is about Mr. Wu.
