NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- A smelting company and its vice president have admitted attempting to illegally sell missile parts to China instead of melting the scrap into ingots as they had agreed.
The parts, including components of the missile guidance system, never reached China. Customs agents discovered the cache in a shipping container at Port Elizabeth, according to documents filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court following the guilty pleas.
Even though the missile bodies and control sections of the radar-guided AIM 7-F Sparrows did not include explosives, the "military surplus items were still of notable intelligence value to other countries, and prohibited from export without a license from the U.S. Department of State," the Defense Department warned bidders for the scrap.
