Obaidullah Syed is charged with conspiring to exporting computer equipment from the U.S. to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, which was a “Pakistani government agency responsible for ‘the design, fabrication, and testing of high explosives and nuclear weapons parts, uranium mining and enrichment, and the development of solid-fueled ballistic missiles.'”
What could possibly have gone wrong? Pakistan is a friend and ally of the United States, no?
In a sane world, there would be an investigation of who in the Pakistani government knew about this, and an ending of the sham alliance if it was found to have been engineered by Pakistani government officials. But that won’t happen.
“Chicago Tech Executive Charged with Illegally Exporting Computer Equipment to Pakistan,” Department of Justice, September 21, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
A Chicago-area resident who owns a Pakistani technology company has been indicted for allegedly illegally exporting computer equipment from the United States to a nuclear research agency of the Pakistani government.
Obaidullah Syed owned Pakistan-based Business System International Pvt. LTD., and Chicago-based BSI USA. The companies provided high-performance computing platforms, servers, and software application solutions. From 2006 to 2015, Syed and Business System International conspired with company employees in Pakistan to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by exporting computer equipment from the United States to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission without obtaining the required authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to an indictment returned in the U.S. District Court in Chicago. The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, according to the indictment, was a Pakistani government agency responsible for “the design, fabrication, and testing of high explosives and nuclear weapons parts, uranium mining and enrichment, and the development of solid-fueled ballistic missiles.”
The indictment charges Syed, 65, of Northbrook, and Business System International with one count of conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and foreign trade regulations, and one count of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Syed was arrested Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020, and remains in federal custody. A detention hearing is scheduled for today at 1:00 p.m. CDT before U.S. Magistrate Judge M. David Weisman in Chicago….
According to the indictment, Syed, Business System International and the other conspirators falsely represented to U.S.-based computer manufacturers that the illegal shipments were intended for Pakistan-based universities, Syed’s business, or Syed himself, when, in fact, the conspirators knew that the true end user and ultimate consignee of each shipment was either the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission or a research institute that trained the agency’s engineers and scientists, the indictment states. In so doing, according to the indictment, Syed and his company caused the U.S.-based computer manufacturers to submit to the U.S. government shipping documents, including Shippers Export Declarations, that listed false end-users for the U.S.-origin goods, thereby undermining the U.S. government’s ability to stop the illegal shipments….

The motto of the Pak army is ‘Allah o akbar’. The ethos of the whole country is jihadic. The methodology of the whole country is bribery and taqiyya, the hobby of the country is online pornography. Purely Islamic, rather than an aberration.
