Germany foiled nuke detonator export to Iran
abc.net.au

German customs last year blocked the export to Iran of 44 detonators that would have been well-suited for building nuclear bombs, according to a report in the weekly Focus.

The report says two Iranian brothers attempted to export the detonators manufactured by the German firm Behlke and purchased by two German intermediaries, Eva-Marie H. and Harald H.

The buyers had indicated they were bound for a domestic customer.

"If the delivery had been successful, Germany's foreign relations would have been threatened, even more so if they were used in Iran," said an internal German foreign ministry document quoted by Focus.
