He worked for defense contracting companies, from which he stole the documents. For them not to have hired him, or expressed any undue suspicion of his activities, would have been “Islamophobic.”
“Iran-American Mozaffar Khazaee indicted for F-35 document theft,” from the BBC, January 21:
An Iranian-American engineer accused of attempting to ship stolen documentation on a high-tech military plane to Iran has been indicted, US authorities say.
A grand jury in the US state of Connecticut charged Mozaffar Khazaee, 59, with two counts of transporting stolen goods.
He was arrested on 9 January for trying to smuggle thousands of pages of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter documents.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
Mr Khazaee is accused of transporting, transmitting and transferring in interstate commerce goods obtained by theft, conversion or fraud, according to court documents.
He is said to have stolen the sensitive materials from defence contracting companies where he was employed, Connecticut US Attorney Deirdre Daly told US media on Tuesday.
The engineer is an ex-employee of military contractor Pratt & Whitney and in that capacity was responsible for carrying out strength tests on engine parts, US media have reported.
He was made redundant from a defence contractor in August, prosecutors said.
‘Household goods’
The investigation began in November, when customs officials and homeland security agents intercepted a shipment Mr Khazaee sent from Connecticut to a freighter in Long Beach, California, bound for Hamadan, Iran, according to court records.
The shipment was marked as containing household goods, but officials instead found boxes of documents containing technical manuals and proprietary material related to the F-35 programme.
Mr Khazaee was arrested on 9 January at the airport in Newark, New Jersey, on his way to Iran….

Lets hope the “Justice Dept.” did not use either “religious” – or “nationality” to apprehend this Iranian slug!
London Jim says
Something makes me doubt he did it out of religious conviction. .more probably plain and simple greed.

This betrayer will be really popular in jail.

This definitely has nothing to do with Islam. He was having financial problems and he was about to lose his house. We should never question Islam. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

was the HR rep who hired him also Muslim?
Bettina says
With respect, London, what would give you that impression? The article doesn’t lean one way or the other…
London Jim says
Precicely, Bettina. It shows how unbiased Mr Spencer is in his reporting on facts, and although I’m not advocating what this ‘American Iranian’ has been indited to have done, the money trail will probably lead to the Iranian Islamic regime who have just had billions of frozen assetts released to them courtesy of the BHO regime.

Question. How were law enforcement authorities informed about this guy given this administrations orders concerning the prevention of the use of race, religion, nationality, etc. to authorize “unwarranted” search and seizures? Is it just possible that the mind, intelligence, experience, patriotism and common sense in the law enforcement communities, that Obama and company believe they can order shut off, like a switch, is not working as intended? Does this dangerous fools errand by progressive elites comport with the elementary attribute of memory in basic human nature? After touching a hot stove If a child is told that touching it again will not burn his fingers will he simply forget what not only burned his fingers but was figuratively “burned” into his brain? My guess would be far from it. In fact the administrations efforts at politically motivated obfuscation may have succeeded only in heightening what were already confirmed suspicions to the contrary, especially for those whose very own life and safety depend on it. The progressive belief that this will ameliorate the hatred for the west that is rampant in the Muslim world is a dangerous fantasy that ignores reality.

This one got caught. There are many, many more who have succeeded in delivering to our enemies stolen technology, sometimes one IC chip a a time. This have made it possible for the jihadist nation of iran to slowly gain ground in their lust for military supremacy. These “American-iranian”, “muslim American” moderate, next door muslims waste no opportunity to do what they can to assist an enemy which not in the too distant future, is in a crash course crash with our nation. Whether its a irania propagandist like reza aslan, a nuclear proliferator such as khan, or these one ic chip at time , next door, “moderate, American -iranian” traitors, they all have been proven to pose a very serious national security risk.

Keep providing positions in industry and on college campuses and we will have nothing left. Everyone including those from China, Israel, India and numerous other countries have been stealing our technology for years. How else could China modernize it’s navy and air force so quickly. We just never learn, it is a wonder this country still exists.

And this story immediately follows one on the US unfreezing Iranian assets, with no guarantees that the monies won’t be used to sponsor Jihad terror against us.

How many other Mohammedans are working for sensitive military contractors, and shipping our information to Jihadists?
